most reliable midi volume/expression foot controller

Post by scoopneck » Sun Dec 17, 2017 9:30 pm

Any thoughts on buying an inexpensive midi volume/expression foot controller, primarily for Eventide effects (Pitchfactor, Modfactor, Timefactor...) Anyone happy with a midi foot controller? In other words, is this garbage?

that's not a MIDI controller pedal. it's a standard expression pedal (a potentiometer and a few wires) which needs to be plugged into a hardware device that supports that kind of expression pedal...

thanks, I think the Eventide pedals allow CV pedals to be used to control selected parameters.

oh. because you mentioned MIDI i assumed you were talking about software effects, not hardware units.

i would check with Eventide about compatible pedals and go from there.
