One button configures the two pedals to control volume-resonance and cutoff. Another config controls LFO speed and depth. Yet another modifies ADSR parameters attack and sustain... these are all just changing the cc values which the pedals control. Another button toggles my relay switcher to switch the filter in or out. I'm doing another bank for EDP control right now...

Once you say you're willing to get off the floor there's several interesting and different controllers out there. 1. Peavey PC1600x is a 16 fader/switch controller with each fader and switch programmable. You can assign any fader to become a master fader which can then be programmed to control any number of other faders. There's two inputs on the rear for expeds and switches. It has storable config presets so you could have several variants. I could see having a master programming config for each of my dsps as well as performance configs which have a few cc's or pc's for each dsp. This is one of those blank canvas type of devices which allows you to do whatever you please... 2. Korg KAOS pad... I believe this thing sends midi so it could be useful for tweaking you dsps. Someone mentioned that it's not very programmable though so careful study of what it actually does do is important. 3. The Phatman controller is a bank of knobs with dedicated non-programmable cc assignments. Assuming your dsp's allow you to choose the cc which controls any given parameter, you could use this. (My Waldorf stuff has fixed cc assignments so my controller has to be programmable to get control of it.) 4. Then there's stuff like the Dimension Beam infrared controllers as well as Infusion Systems I-cube which is a midi digitizer module with inputs for a large range of sensors like proximity, pressure, light, velocity, deflection etc. I have no idea what the cost of these babies are, but I'm getting pretty interested in using a proximity or velocity sensor to get away from having to ride a pedal.The Synthzone site has a midi controllers area which lists most of these that I've mentioned as well as quite a few others. http://www.synthzone.com/ctrlr.htm Admittedly, the Rolls with 8 controller inputs followed by Roland FC-200 with 6? are the two pedal hogs for floor control. I'd like to know more about how programmable the Rolls is... can anyone tell us more? best! -Biffoz
