The Alesis AirFX can do that too, sort of. <http://www.alesis.com/product.php?id=52> Taking a pitchwheel from a synth won't really help you with pitchbend, though, unless you then connect it to some sort of pitchbending circuit. (ie. Whammy, Boss PS-series, etc.) Maybe one of your electronically-creative oriented friends can find a source (Mouser, or someone like that) for a spring-loaded, center detente wheel or stick that you could mount in a small project case and connect it to a pitchshift pedal's expression jack. -t- --- Matt Davignon <mattdavignon@gmail.com> wrote: > Good thinking, but table space is a concern.
