*Now that many manufacturers are building MIDI controllers (apart fromkeyboards, MIDI guitars, wind controllers, etc.) like a single foot pedal, asingle foot switch or gesture control using a full MIDI interface over USBthe number will be growing again. I'm pretty sure of that.*
Yeah, I'm guilty of that, I've been buying a couple of these http://www.audiofront.net/MIDIExpression.php You can plug in any footswitch and it works plug and play as MIDI via USB. It's nice cause sometimes you need a big controller just so you can use the footswitch/expression input, and actually most of cheap MIDI gear won't have it, or maybe just one. Yeah you can do stuff with arduino and plug them in it I suppose, but I'm just lazy with arduino - guess you can build the switches easily too (even lazier with that). So I might end up with 4 of these someday :) cheers 2014-08-25 7:00 GMT-03:00 Ingo <i...@miamiwave.com>: > Back then (90's) I had racks of synth that needed to be connected both ways > to software editors and sequencers, many MIDI controlled effects, Eqs, > routers, etc. All connectd both ways for editing. > > I had to connect two MIDI interfaces with 8x8 in/outs. > All of those used to have their own port. > > I wasn't using Pd at that time, though. > Nowadays most synths got replaced by plugins and only the controllers need > to be connected by MIDI (or MIDI over USB). > > Since the majority of the DAWs don't understand anything but MIDI and > neither do most musicians understand anything more complicated than MIDI > I'm > assuming that MIDI will stay for quite some more time. > > Now that many manufacturers are building MIDI controllers (apart from > keyboards, MIDI guitars, wind controllers, etc.) like a single foot pedal, > a > single foot switch or gesture control using a full MIDI interface over USB > the number will be growing again.
