Have anyone here used a MIDI pedal of some sort to trigger the pads on
the M3? I want to be able to use my feet to control the pads but I'm not
sure what type/brand/model MIDI pedal would work the way I need it to
work.
What I would like to do is use my feet to play chords assigned to the pads
just as if my hands are playing the pads. That means I would have to
keep my feet pressed down to keep the sound on, unless it has some sort
of "latch" feature? If there is a latch feature, do I turn off the sound by
pressing the same note again? I was thinking of using a bass MIDI pedal
to do this (Roland PK-5A?). Using a bass MIDI pedal may allow me to
trigger the pads using different velocity just if my hands were playing the
pads itself.
How about MIDI pedals such as the Yamaha MFC10 or the Behringer
FBC1010? Could it be used for this purpose? How would it trigger the
pads? Would I have to press the button twice to turn it on/off (latch)
before triggering a different pad? Or would the first pad turn off the
moment I press a different button on the pedal?
In practical sense, I want to be able to have as much control but with
minimize foot action
.I don't want to have to buy several pedal before finding one that works so
if anyone has any experience or suggestions please feel free to chip in.
Thanks!
