Hey all, after a lot of looking around online for a footswitch for my Octatrack (mainly just to trigger looping functions with Pickup machines), I'm mostly finding big old complex controllers that are above and beyond what I need (FCB1010, 12 Step, etc). Or USB/Bluetooth only controllers, requiring workarounds to get DIN MIDI to the OT.

Anyone got any recommendations for a simple 3 button controller that outputs MIDI on DIN sockets?

Not much of a response there! Wow. I think I'm going to make one myself for exactly this purpose. There's a bunch of Arduino based projects out there for DIYers.

After some more research, I will likely be getting one of these I think:

I was going to suggest this controller.. I had it for a bit and it worked great (albeit that programming was a bit cumbersome) but those disaster ones looks better built.

Thanks,still not totally decided so all options are on the table.
