>> ...a good MIDI foot controller with just one row I would consider using the FCB1010 anyway, and just forget about the upper/rear row of foot switches. Put some kind of barrier over them to prevent tactile confusion with the lower/front row. The unit is well built, very inexpensive (and even cheaper on Ebay), and has a very active yahoo group with hundreds of members. Half the yahoo list chatter is about how confusing the manual is, granted :) But still, it is a good unit. Behringer has updated the firmware several times since the unit was released so that bodes well for continuing support.
