Switch programs with footswitch on Radias
Posted: Wed May 02, 2012 8:24 pm
Hi!
In the next 1-2 years I'd like to get a hardware synth setup, including a Radias-R. I'd use an M-Audio Axiom 61 as a master keyboard to control the modules. I'd also like to cycle through the programs with using a footswitch. Now the problem comes. The Axiom has only 2 pedal ins, which I'd like to use for their default funcions, sustain and expression.
How can I add a third pedal? I was thinking about getting a cheap 2-octave keyboard (ESI Keycontrol 25 xt or Miditech Midistart Music 25) with sustain in and Midi out and connecting it to the Axiom's Midi in but would it work? Also, a serial midi connection like this wouldn't slow down patch changes too much anyway?
