Re: midi foot controller for loop triggers manipulation et al
Yes, the FCB is quite big, but there's nothing like it in the same
price range.
If you are planning to loop live with Ableton Live, triggered by a foot
pedal, you will need a lot of midi pads for your tap dancing. This is
because you have to address each loop on each audio channel directly.
So you need a dedicated midi message to start or stop each loop. One
way to get around this is to use the little software ControlAid. Can be
downloaded for free at http://www.charlie-roberts.com/controlAid/. This
software will let you manipulate Ableton Live from a FCB1010 in a way
similar to how you work a Repeater from the FCB.
All the best
