usb foot controller to control Live looper

Post by 4am » Fri Mar 17, 2017 9:57 am

Hi
The title says it all.
I'm looking for an USB foot controller to control start/stop of the looper.
For evident reasons both hands are taken for other tasks at the moment where I need to start recording.
I have found lots of midi foot controllers, but I would like somwthing USB only, cheap, simple.
Would foot controllers used for gaming do the job?
Does Live allow me to map them?
Thank you
Cheers
Andrés

what foot controllers used for gaming are you referring to? i'm asking as i'm interested as i use game controllers with Live myself (i got about 7)

if they are usb then yes you can use them but you'll have to interface them using MFL
