Something to keep in mind about the MP128 is that it only sends MIDI Program Change messages. Some software requires MIDI Continuous Control or Note messages. You can use virtual MIDI drivers to map Program Change to other things to a degree, but what you can't do is get a "momentary" pedal, one that sends something when you press it and something else when you release it. This is an important feature for some software loopers.
So, review the MIDI control options for all of the software you use or intend to use and make sure you can live without momentary switches.

Subject: Re: midi foot controller theory
Thanks so much everybody for the feedback.
I was introduced to stuff I didn't know about.
POK Wireless is an awesome idea. I wish i could turn all of my wires into wireless
I'm likely to go with the Rolls' MP128 now.
Seeing the picture of MP128 vs FCB1010
I like the smaller size and the midi powered.
I noticed the fcb has staggered row of pedals
and the MP128 is not. Does it ever cause a problem accidentally hitting a pedal because they are one in front of the other with the Rolls?
So yesterday I took some plastic and superglue and made a pedal out of a qwerty board
I've got 5 good pedal locations so far. I'm gonna try to make 8 work today.
I was wondering if you only had 5 or 6 pedals what are the functions you get the most mileage out of or just can't live without. Or the ones you could live without.
Obviously record takes a slot. Eventually Ill get 8 pedals at least but I would just like to hear others' most used and/or least used functions.
Thanks loopy people
Robin
