Re: X-Y midi foot controller?

[Per Boysen <per@boysen.se>]

That seems to be a good web shop for buying pre-fab midi gadgets. I  
would really much like to have a touch sensitive X-Y floor carpet  
assisted by a stomp box of five to ten buttons that change the  
parameters of the X and Y axis. By dragging a toe along the carpet  
you can then control certain processes. It's too bad there are so few  
products out there for "hands-off" midi control. I'm not the least  
interested in computers or electronics, but the lack of well designed  
products forces you to throw an awful lot of time into learning  
software and to solder electronic components. And you will always  
think it was worth it when you finally get there to play the  
instruments extended by electronics.
