I started building a box very similar to the one Warren described. But then I got this job with native-instruments and i should be using that rig kontrol 2 within a few weeks. (i will post on my experiences with it). So for now i am sticking with my current midi only foot controller. Good news is the NI rig kontrol has midi i/o so my current controller will still be part of the rig. As soon as possible i plan to rackmount a mac mini and get the whole rig boxed up nicely. To be honest my hope is to find a 15 or 17 inch powerbook with a bad screen or otherwise broken so i can rackmount it's guts, that way i can use an RME cardbus interface. Fingers crossed. What your talking about (warren) is definitely possible, i make those sorts of things. If you want to contact me off list we can discuss options. - b > From: Warren Sirota [mailto:wsirota@wsdesigns.com] > Sent: Sunday, December 18, 2005 5:59 PM > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Subject: Even crazier thoughts about ideal footcontrollers > > This is really dreaming, but do you think that, for enough $$, it > would be > possible to build in a very-sturdily-cushioned 8-in/2-out computer > audio > interface (OK, 4 in would do in a pinch, 6 would be better), and > let me > connect the whole thing up to the computer with a single firewire > or usb > cable, and forget about midi cables and external interfaces > altogether?
