Change. I've never needed to use more than nine programs, instantly
accessible, with my EDP, so a number pad style hand controller would
do the job just fine. As you perform the timing critical actions with
your feet it makes sense to me having a hand controller on the side
for jumping between the EDP programs. That makes it possible to
manipulate audio loops with feet at the same time you are using the
hand pad to change what functions are actually assigned to your foot
buttons (EDP programs)."


I'm loving my M-Audio Trigger Finger (a present from my brother, by the 
way), Per.
It's no larger than one of those 12" mac laptops and very thin so it's not
very big for transport and it has 16 finger controlled pads on it for
anything from CC messages to triggering samples or, in my case,
playing my Repeater like a chromatic instrument.


How are the boys doing?
