Re: sustain type foot controller into a PMC? was: RE: The Big(ish) Idea

well im sure it could be done easily with the edp. if the edp could have mute in non-latch fashion, great. note on, sound, note off, mute. but it wont record. thats playback only.
this is analog going INTO the EDP. THAT U CAN SCREW AROUND WITH.
how much would u pay for something like this?
