The cheap stuff you get as for the sustain pedal function for a synth, just as an example. I can go into any music store and pick up a new on for peanuts any day. > how's toby's vst dealing with those "audio noise > bumps"? When "a noise bump" (me kicking the foot switch) arrives into mic input 2 it goes into the Tobybear VST that translates it into a MIDI note event. That is how this VST deals with it. It was created by TobyBear to do exactly that; create MIDI from any audio signal input. > how quickly can you execute three, four ... mobius functions with > arming involved before you can launch them all? I don't do it like that. I arm particular function (pressing button with finger) and then I execute it by kicking the foot switch. I doing for example Reverse, Overdub or Substitute, it just depends on how fast I can tap my toe. One difference though - and also the only reason I kept the FCB1010 for so long - is when you want to "play moog pedals". On the FCB you can have all ten buttons targeting different Rate/Speed Shift values in order to "play" melodies or chord sequences by feet. With my new one-pedal setup I have to move my right hand to arm the next interval to be pitched on the next foot tap. That may be a bit limiting if you want to play really fast chord changes (for that you can use a script that calls up next "chord" on the next foot tap, so you can tap unquantized as fast or slow as the music needs. But then you have to stick with that sequence of pitch intervals. That's no problem with me though, I will make up a dozen of "pitch change intervals sequence" pre-fabs to make improvisation smooth. > if going with some simplistic > approach (like yours) or still engaged to the foot controller. Well, I'm minimizing the physical side of the looping control gear - but I'm maximizing the functionality of the rig. One important reason is that I found the FCB too limited, not offering enough buttons for the looping I want to do. Instead of 100 options in the FCB I can now use 256 with the Faderfox buttonpad+footswitch. (and duplicating some commands on the computer keys to use as "shortcut" in busy musical situations) -- Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international) www.myspace.com/perboysen
