Re: New USB powered MIDI foot controller for Mac



Interesting device, looks like competition to the IK Multimedia Stomp
I/O, but a LOT more affordable.  I still can't figure out why IK
thinks they can get away with charging so much for their controller.
It kind of makes sense if you don't have the Amplitube software and
want it, but for guys like me who have it it's way too expensive.

I did get the IK Multimedia Stealthpedal though, and that might work
out well.  You can connect two switches to it as well as an expression
pedal.  That in combo with an FCB1010 and I'm more or less set, but
I'd really love it if i could get a control only version of the Stomp.
