Re: midi foot controller for loop triggers manipulation et al

Seems like my first reply didn't go through.. So here it is again. :)

Why not just set one pedal to trigg selected sample on each channel in
Ableton and then 2 pedals to controll scroll select up and down.

That should give room for pretty nifty foot-work on the FCB.. ;)
