Re: Echo Pro footcontroller options



Hi,

Sounds like you've got a bid of a problem, coz you really can't opperate it
with your feet without a MIDI foot controller of some kind. What you can 
do is
opperate it by hand using front panel buttons, and a tap tempo from a 
standard
momentary footswitch + control over parameters with the pedal but not 
looper
control.

The MIDI Mouse does look simple but it does involve scrolling through 
patches
until you get to the one you want. But given the 2 prog change idea, this
could
work. You never know, once she realises the potential of more control she
might
get into it!.
