foot/pedal controller for max
Ive heard of the Roland FC series which look good but are expensive. Are there any cheaper options?

you can use a used FC50 (roland/boss) which is great with max
but basically all midi controllers work with max
then you can (try to) have MESI build you a custom pedal board - i
have one and it's great - it's usb (no power supply) and the pedals
are in the 0-1024 range
or they also make a great usb expression pedal

I can deeply recommend Behringer FCB1010.
It is not as heavy (and clumsy) as the Roland Pedals are and it is much cheaper.....

cheaper, yes, but i did tour (many times) with a roland FC50, and
would never do it with the beringher - which IS heavy and clumsy
seriously, a second hand FC50 (sometimes called FC50G) is your friend

I have been touring a lot with my Behringer and dropped it several times on stage vice versa. No problems !
Anyway, there is another option too called Ground Control Pro made by an american company. It is handmade and should be a monster midiwise...check it out !
As long as the thread is still active... I've been looking for a simple
MIDI footswitch that will send an on/off controller message (cc 64?) I
realize I can do this using the sustain pedal with a midi keyboard, but
it'd be nice to have something that could stand alone. (the patches I
need it for are all MSP and I only need the pedal to cue up responses to
the player's input.)
The foot controllers that have been proposed are all fairly expensive
and way more elaborate than I need. Anyone know of anything simpler?

If you take the same principle, but hack one of these cheap joysticks,
you'd have the advantage, that your foot switches are independent of the
keyboard by using the hi object. But anyway, hacking cheap hardware is a
good option, as you decide about the ergonomics of your switches yourself...

Behold, my weapon of choice!

cheapest one 25 euro, up to 32 buttons and eight 10-bit analog inputs.
for just a single footpedal these may be a bit much, though ;)

Hi guys,
Anyone have any review about the Boss FS-5L (latch)or FS-5U (non-latch) or FS-6 ? does latching or non-latching really matter ? I'm about to get one of these ...
Thanks
