Re: MIDI Foot controllers

Ian,

You should look for an old ADA controller.  They had a
few as far as I know: one with four buttons stacked
two per row, and another that had I think six buttons
that were all in one row with quite a bit of space
inbetween.  Both had large, red buttons which may be
helpful for you and your vision.
