Re: Continuous Control

[Mark Kunzmann <kunmar00@stud.unibas.ch>]

Hey Elaine -- as far as I know the RFC-1 will allow you to use several
footpedals (6?) to send MIDI CCs. Apart from that it is apparently a
very powerful pedalboard which can deal with all manner of MIDI data. I
can't give you any detail because I don't own one (- wouldn't turn one
down though). I've tried to track down Lake Butler Sound but I think
they went out of business some time ago. Anyways, if you can find one of
these I don't think you'll be disappointed. I've copied part of a
message posted by someone here last week about this guy who's selling
one...

Hope this helps --
Mark


for those of you who are MIDI enabled, this seems to have been an object
of
desire in the past

PS don't know the guy never dealt with him, so caveat emptor
