I can't really see this as a stage tool, but from a quick look, it looks
interesting as a reconding tool, and as such differs for ordinary floor
controllers, as the build-in functions seems more designed and useful
for controlling the recording process and software setups.
I do find the price tag a Bit hefty, though..
For hands-free recording alone, I've been thinking of modding a mouse
into a stomp (with durable buttons) to be able to activate Record and if
programmatically possible, things like a Skip-to-next-session feature.
