No MIDI foot controller on the market fits my needs, so I've been seriously considering building my own.
I need:
Basically, very similar to the MFC-101, but shaped differently and minus all the advanced (and as a result, expensive) features. Each switch would function only for patch changing.
For the software, I plan to use Pedal Box, a project built on "MIDIbox". However, it claims that it does not support Sysex. Would that cause an issue?
My biggest problem right now is that I haven't been able to find a housing/chassis in the shape I'm after. Anyone know of anything?
I need:
- A small chassis, similar to the MIDI Moose, except 2 rows of 8–10...[/*:m:1r7t35l2]
- ...Heavy-duty Carling-style footswitches[/*:m:1r7t35l2]
- Single-color LEDs[/*:m:1r7t35l2]
- 20+ character (transflective?) display[/*:m:1r7t35l2]
- 4–8 expression pedal jacks[/*:m:1r7t35l2]
- 4–8 external switch jacks[/*:m:1r7t35l2]
- 7-pin MIDI with phantom power[/*:m:1r7t35l2]
