Re: monome as foot controller

[Zoe Keating <info@zoekeating.com>]

I wrote to both Gas Pedal and Gordius last year inquiring about a  
custom pedal. But no one seemed interested.
Then I found Bob Charest who customized an FCB1010 for me.

Anyway, I found a willing maker nerd who is working on a custom pedal  
for me right now!
