RE: X-Y vector pad for MIDI foot control?

["William Walker" <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

I've mentioned this new device before,
http://www.sourceaudio.net/products/hothand/midi_exp.php  and though its 
not
foot controlled like you are desiring, it does allow for hand movements to
translate XY axis midi events either CC, note on/off, pitch wheel and after
touch, with the wave of your hand. It requires an infra red sensor
accessory, to achieve this I believe, but it does present some interesting
possibilities for triggering effects or midi commands while multi- tasking
on your instruments (playing the suckers). I plan to check it out in detail
when I go to NAMM in a few weeks.

Subject: X-Y vector pad for MIDI foot control?

Hi,

Is anyone using a KaossPad on the floor for MIDI control by foot? Or
do you have better suggestions? The simpler the better, I only need
two MIDI CC's generated.

I've had enough of hand controlled joystick controllers and want to
find me some MIDI X-Y vector pad "carpet" where I can draw two
parameter's values at once with tip of a toe while using my hands for
other tasks.
