Hi Phill, I wonder if you would be able to use the "midifoot" software with your homebrew pedal? I haven't tried it, I just read about it yesterday in the files section of the Yahoo ambiloop group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ambiloop/files/ "------------------------------------------------------ MIDIFOOT v1.0 Pre alpha for Ambiloop community ------------------------------------------------------ It's a simple project, allowing you to control any midi software from pedalboard (connected to PC gameport). Features: 15 programmable buttons Note On/Note Off/CC/Poly Pressure/Program messages Hardware independent presets to share with friends :-) Hide to tray possibility Freeware :-) Limitations: Only one button can be pressed at time There shouldn't be any joysticks in system, except for pedalboard (acting like joystick for the OS). Installation and testing: Run midifoot.exe (skip warnings), choose required midi device from listbox. It could be some synth port or MidiYoke virtual cable. MidiYoke can be downloaded from http://www.midiox.com/myoke.htm Map some buttons and try 'TEST' button. Your destination software/synth must receive midi messages. Now if you have an _analog_ joystick, try to connect it, and tap buttons. (remember to restart midifoot and install joystick driver). Your destanation software must receive midi messages. Now try to press two (or more) joystick buttons at the same time. You should see another 'virtual' button in Midifoot flashing up. Pedalboard If everything seems fine it's time to build a pedalboard. See schematic in pedalboard.gif Resistors could be of any values from 5k to a less than 100k. Diodes - any small signal general purpose (1N4148, 1N914 and so on) Buttons - any buttons of your choice. Resistors could be wired directly on a 15pin male plug. Important! Install a 2-axis 4-button joystick driver before using pedalboard ! ------------------------------------------------------ I successfully tried this system to control CubaseSX transport, Ambiloop (http://evenfall.com/ambiloop/) and KX SBLive! drivers (http://kxproject.com). Works just fine. If you have any ideas, suggestions, bug reports etc. feel free to contact me via e-mail: firewood@mail.ru Diz" On Sun, 06 Feb 2005 14:56:28 +0000, phill wilson <blackface@hotmail.co.uk> wrote: > Hey there all > > Ive just enjoyed a great weekend of EDP looping now that Mathias helped >me > stop that noise. > > I have also just about finished my homebrewed edp footpedal (its in beta > testing hehe) however never one to rest on my laurals I have started to > think of the lovley Sus comands that I am now missing. > > so here is my question to you all > > WHAT IS THE SMALLEST MIDI CONTROL YOU CAN BUY??? > > I figure I need between four and eight buttons that can send one midi >comand > per button. i dont need banks or anyhting like that if its easier >without. > > would like SUS-Ovdub, Sus-Rec, Reverse, Half-Speed.
