RE: USB Volume Pedal?
>>Just to change the subject slightly, is there a USB volume pedal?
Something like one pedal off a FCB1010 without the switches that sends
MIDI CC over USB? It would sure be handy. . .<<
I sort of want the same thing in reverse..... but to answer your question,
there are any number of midi hardware controllers that also have USB
sockets, but (& this is something I have whined about before) most of them
don't have sockets for pedals. even "controller keyboards", for heaven's
sake.... I have several evolution keyboards (the cheap programmable sort)
that I've drilled holes in so I could add sockets for expression pedals. I
have no idea what's stopping these people from fitting pedal sockets as
standard..... all of these blasted keyboards have sockets for sustain
pedals, after all, but they expect you to work a volume knob or slider
with your teeth or something.
ahem.
so but you could get one of these devices

& make a hole in it & install a socket for a pedal.
now, what I want is a little box with audio in & out on 1/4" jacks, & a
midi in & through, & a CC-controlled VCA in there, so that I can control
the volume of a standard rock instrument (like a guitar, bass, hammond,
mellotron, whatever) using midi CC from a sequencer.
at the moment, I have to hook up a midi>CV converter to a semi-modular
analogue synth & run my audio through that, which rather ties up the
synth..... have I missed something obvious out there that already does
this?
duncan.
