Korg PA 300 and foot controller

Post by MFMorais »

So, ihave a Korg PA 300 , and i dont have midi ports . I wanna use a foot controller to do fill ins var intro endings etc , i cant use a foot controller like behringer FCB1010 or any MIDI foot controllers , because i dont have midi ports . So i ask your help, please , for a solution . There are any way to send program messages , via usb for instance ? Or there are any foot controller with the normal jack connection like the normal sustain pedals , so i can send cc or pc midi messages ?
Sorry my english, and thanks in advance :)

Hello,
Unfortunately the only way to connect midi to a pa300 is through a pc.
You also need to have a usb-midi interface so you will have to connect both pa300 and midi interface to 2 free usb ports on the pc and then use any DAW to do the routing..
There are other solutions too but they are not premade products, you need to code and solder things..

Hi,
You should be able to control your entire keyboard with midi messages? Instead of a full-blown intel-based computer, why not look into a cheaper, lighter alternative, like the Raspberry PI 3, or 3B+, or even the model 4B. You can install "jOrgan" on the Raspberry PI, and then created as many controllers as you want to have. I am not an expert in that but have heard that it can be done. You will of course need a midi encoder also connected to the Raspberry Pi computer, to which you can connect your sliders, faders, and switches. I hope this information helps you.
Kind regards,
Brian Sweetnam

I just finished building Foot Controller.
Arduino is way to go. Costs Next to nothing

This is where to start
