Re: PK-5 as MIDI controller for loop set up (was MidiMate vs Allaccess)
I had one of those things once.
I don't think it'd be any good for controlling an EDP.
You can't program the pedals individually. You have one octave of notes
C to C. You can change the octave, but that's it.
Besides, the long throw of the pedals would make rhythmic accuity
crap-a-dap.
And it's heavy, and it's big.
Forget about it and buy an FCB1010.
