It's way intuitive and it occupies a lot less space than >a ? on the same subject Scott Henderson uses some sort of home made ccont pedal board ( probably just simple pots that are tied to a box that does the CV - Midi translation the interesting thing is that he uses normal rotary pots whith a big rubber button (I remenber that on some boss pedals ??) there is an arrow on the top for visual info where he's at he was manipulating the pots by turning them with his foot. The external pots can even be turned in one shot with the side of the shoe *zzzap* never tried it but for minor or smooth adjustments this seems to be a less hazardous than the traditionnal vol ped I'm too exited on stage to suddenly be very calm and smooth to put my feet on the pedal without moving it a litle or a lot either way (BTW they could create also hard action vol pedals; some times they are simply too smooth) I would also like pedals that could use you whole body weight as range for control when you are off the pedal the value is 0 when you are full on it on one leg this the max. This type of controler could be used very smoothly by just tranfering your weight from one feet to the other and very hard by stomping and jumping on it any designer around? call private for lot more on this ?=) back from hollydays in IBIZA great relaxed looping Eat-beach-siesta-beach-BRBQ-party-sleep-Eat-beach-siesta- - - - - - Claude -- Please correct the reply address by deleting this "----" Veuillez corriger mon adresse pour me rpondre en effaant a "----"
