> has anyone ever tried the nobels mf-2 fc ? it seems to be an >economical choice as a foot controller is it usable to control EDPs ? >thanks, Luca I just read the manual for it available on their site: http://www.nobels.com/pdf-oman/mf-2_ownersmanual.pdf it appears to be one of the simplistic program-change-only type of pedals. you can't send midi notes with it, or do much with continuous controllers even. so no, it can't control the EDP. it still amazes me that these companies go to all the trouble to design and manufacture a midi footpedal controller and don't bother to implement 95% of the available midi commands. For them to do the additional programming would be simple. I once asked the owner of a particular well-known midi pedal manufacturer why he did that, and he indicated that his pedal was for guitar players who are too stupid to understand anything more complicated than program change messages. Maybe that's true for the average stratocastor-and-marshall guy, but I suspect the ones playing around with midi are bright enough to figure out what a note-on message does. especially now when it is so common for samplers and synths to be standard gear in the average band. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
