Do any of these controllers have remotely changeable patches? I'd like
to have Ableton send my controller program changes while playing. Trigger Finger has a MIDI Out, but not a MIDI In. I've got a Roland FC-200 (not sure if the 1010 has more
features or not) but I can't send it Program Changes or remotely switch Modes
(between Controller, Program Change, Note & SysEx modes). I am,
however, able to send it SysEx messages, so I may end up doing that. Dave H. PS: there's a mounting bracket for Trigger Finger: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/TriggerFingerMountingBracket-main.html -----Original Message----- I'm not aware of any programmable foot controller that
runs on MIDI power. There aren't a lot of options unfortunately,
if you want to buy something new there are: Behringer FCB1010 - $150 - Cheap, reasonably flexible, but large. 10
functions per bank. Silent switches. Rocktron MIDI Mate - $150 - Cheap, smaller than the FCB1010, but not as
powerful. If I remember right this has average
programming features but it only has a maximum of 5 functions per
bank, you wanted 6. Digital Music Ground Control Pro - $400 - Compact, rugged, expensive. Noisy
switches. More powerful than the FCB in some ways, less in
others. 8 or 12 functions per bank depending on how you configure
it. Yamaha MFC10 - $280 - Has latency problems, doesn't get good reviews
on this list. Roland FC-200 - $320 - I'm not very familiar with this, but it looks
about as large as the FCB1010 for twice the money. Then there are some powerful, outrageously expensive
boutique controllers like the Rocktron All Access, RS-10,
Skrdstrup. These are way more than you need. Always download and read the manuals before you
buy. Each controller has its own set of quirks that may or may not be a deal
breaker for you. Jeff |
