Pedal to control effects
Posted on: 27.08.2013 by Francoise Stober
Hey guys

Just saw this on loco dice's setup

Wondering if someone has ever used a pedal before. It looks very efficient. I am believeing of getting one. Any brand suggestions?

Thanks for the info sounds a very interesting way to control fx/looper

I've set up the toe switch as a modifier in traktor, effectively doubling the amount of controls, and i use the fx and looper thru both fx loops on my Vestax 08 pro.
Very flexible, and because it is midi i can also use it if i'm mixing internaly.

As a bonus (but don't take my word on it, as i've never tried this) i believe that once it's setup (for midi), the pedal itself is midi class compliant. So you can also use it with an ipad.

It's not connected at the moment - but I've used it to control effects in Live, and to trigger Dummy Clips.

I routed my turntables into Live, and scratched away. I'd set up a dummy clip that was silent for the the first 7 beat of a bar, and then had some effects automation (usually a send, with some kind of delay rack) on the last beat.

Stop scratching at the end of the bar, and get a funky echo out effect. Also pretty cool doing brake effects.

Take a look at SoftStep. It has lots of dimensions of control.

Not with software, but I've run a theramin through guitar pedals controlling fx, it's convenient using foot pedals.

I use this one to control software via midi :

http://line6.com/footcontrollers/fbvexpressmkii.html

Not very expensive, and can be had second hand for less even, build isn't the sturdiest, but i'm sure it will endure the test of time, the software can be fiddly on a mac, but it's setup once and forget.
I've never tried the spiders (the line 6 fx boxes) so i can't comment on that.

On the midi side, 4 buttons (the obvious) plus a fifth under the volume/expression pedal, and an expression pedal. Button can send different types of midi messages, and even send a certain note or cc when pushed, and another on release.

What more can i say, it frees my hands !

Im on the look out for a dd7 second hand tho !
