I have the Keith McMillian Softstep. While I appreciate the ability to customize nearly everything imaginable, I think I would be better served at this time having something like an APC 20, but made for the feet.
I've learned a lot about midi with the soft step, but honestly I've done more reading and programming than actually using it. This isn't a knock on the controller, but I need and want something simple with pre mapped controls that make plug and play a more realistic option.
I would like to see one portion of the foot pedal mapped to looper if possible. I want to be able to open Looper and start using it.
Having a few pads for drums would be cool too, an expression pedal for effects and something to navigate between clips and scenes?
I realize the nature of a foot controller means it can't be like an APC device, but I think it would be good for someone to start from that premise and design a simple foot controller designed specifically for Ableton that enables people to use it and start creating music from day 1.
Is this possible or am I dreaming?
