Footcontroller advice

[massi1234]

Hi guys,
as you know, soon I will start developing the the MIDI IN for the PP.
What is the most used and complete floor controller that I could use test PP's MIDI IN ?

Please advice also for second hand.

Hi Massi, I think a lot of people use the Behringer FCB1010.
Thats a foot controller that has imho the most logic and clarifying looks and layout!
The lay out looks very simulair to the Roland FC200 but thats a model Roland doesnt make anymore...

Thanks Jerome. I had that footcontroller, but it broke dwon shortly after I bought it second hand.
I did not know that this is largely diffused.
I had other users with the same footcontroler asking for midi-in.

I'm not sure the Behringer-pedal is the right one for testing.
I think the mother of all midi-controllers is the old Bradshaw/CAE RS-10. A lot of newer controllers are based on that one.
Sadly, the RS10 is not easy to get and not sure IF Bradshaw still builds them.

The Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro is very popular, maybe not the most advanced but plenty of options. Then you have the newer boards like the MarkL FX-25, RJM, Fractal etc.

Most modern floor controllers can be used in several ways. Some are really flexible. So my advice would be to discover the "use cases" - the way people use them / how they set them up and use that information as a guideline to build the Midi In.

Technically you can get "anything" to emit the PC's and CC's you need to implement. Once you've got the technical stuff working focus on the way you'd want it to work with these use cases.

BTW: I use a Roland FC-200 - but am looking for something that can emit PC's and CC's simultaniously (for the switches). I am currently writing down how a 'perfect' pedal would look like ( I am about to start analyzing the use cases ;-) so we can compare notes if you'd like.

En nu in het Nederlands aub??

The Rocktron All Access is also a widely used, and available midi controller.

Behringer FCB1010, Rocktron All Access and Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro are among the most commonly used controllers. Judged only by Youtube, I'm really interested in the flexibility of the Liquid Foot controllers.

Thanks guys for the input.
What about Tap Tempo ?
How do you set your tempo with those controllers ?

I guess these controllers should be able to convert the Tap Tempo measurement in Midi Tempo.

Hey guys,
which footcontroller can control Tap Tempo via MIDI ?
