Andy, sometimes during fast or complex passages, I have this mental
disorder ( ;) ) which require that I gradually approach the board, place
and rest my foot on a button till just the right time.
IOW, I prefer buttons with a bit of initial resistance so I can do the
'foot resting' trick.
The FCB buttons do allow this, but don't have a definite feel as to when
they actually engage; always feels like having to really 'press' them.
I also need certain stomp-actions, like pitch transposings, relatively
brief at-a-time, where buttons with a click-resistance aren't too great.
How would you describe the LG buttons relative to above?
