RE: midi foot controller theory
Title: RE: midi foot controller
theory
The higher end Rolls MP1288 "MIDI Wizard" sends both PC
and CC information. It has 8 CC inputs and you can program the
data stream sent with each button press.

Something to keep in mind about the MP128
is that it only sends MIDI Program Change messages. Some
software requires MIDI Continuous Control or Note messages. You
can use virtual MIDI drivers to map Program Change to other things to
a degree, but what you can't do is get a "momentary" pedal,
one that sends something when you press it and something else when you
release it. This is an important feature for some software
loopers.
So, review the MIDI control options for
all of the software you use or intend to use and make sure you can
live without momentary switches.

Thanks so much everybody for the
feedback.
I was introduced to stuff I didn't know
about.
POK Wireless is an awesome idea. I wish i
could turn all of my wires into wireless
I'm likely to go with the Rolls'
MP128 now.
Seeing the picture of MP128 vs
FCB1010
I like the smaller size and the midi
powered.
I noticed the fcb has staggered row of
pedals
and the MP128 is not. Does it ever cause
a problem accidentally hitting a pedal because they are one in front
of the other with the Rolls?
So yesterday I took some plastic and
superglue and made a pedal out of a qwerty board
I've got 5 good pedal locations so far.
I'm gonna try to make 8 work today.
I was wondering if you only had 5 or 6
pedals what are the functions you get the most mileage out of or just
can't live without. Or the ones you could live without.
Obviously record takes a slot. Eventually
Ill get 8 pedals at least but I would just like to hear others' most
used and/or least used functions.
Thanks loopy people
Robin
