Yes, the FCB is quite big, but there's nothing like it in the same price range. If you are planning to loop live with Ableton Live, triggered by a foot pedal, you will need a lot of midi pads for your tap dancing. This is because you have to address each loop on each audio channel directly. So you need a dedicated midi message to start or stop each loop. One way to get around this is to use the little software ControlAid. Can be downloaded for free at http://www.charlie-roberts.com/controlAid/. This software will let you manipulate Ableton Live from a FCB1010 in a way similar to how you work a Repeater from the FCB.
