Re: AW: monome as foot controller

yup saw that. metal switches again.

i don't need the feedback you get from a sprung switch and really want  
something more tactile. seems like there are so many soft pressure  
switches on the market.

i'm excited about a custom job! got lots of replies to my twitter  
posts about it today.

i'm thinking 12 pads in 2 rows that are about 1.5 to 2 inches square  
and fully customizable so i can send MIDI notes, PC messages, OSC and/ 
or computer keys.

while i'm in fantasy land....the ability to change the "bank" of the  
pedal with my Kbow...and each pad will light up with 1 of 4 colors to  
tell me what bank i'm in.

not cheap...but possibly worth it.
