Re: MIDI Foot controllers

  Hey Ian, I'm also visually impaired, and have run into this issue before.
  I end up using double rows anyway though, because I'm so damned picky!
lol!   I like using alot of different sounds and such.  
  Anyway, which FC's have you had experience with before?   What features
or functions  are you wanting to control?   Does it need to be midi?   A
friend was nice enough to create a couple of custom controllers for this
last loop fest in Palo Alto,  and you can also replace the switches in the
EDP foot controller with more positive ones which will trigger easily
enough, but not unless you want them to.  They can also have a higher
profile.   
  Anyway, please don't  hesitate to send along any other questions or
concerns ya might have.   I'd be delighted to help out if I can...   

Smiles,

Cara
