This thread prompted me to shop the FCB1010. The eBay sold listings show it goes almost every time between $80 and $120 but people are charging around $30 shipping - might as well buy new.
I thought it through and see a couple of drawbacks for my use of the FCB1010 - it has a big foot print and no USB, currently I’m running 100% USB MIDI.
So far the only things I’m planning on are:
- Next Song
- Next State
- Somehow scroll down notes (LivePrompter?)
Neil Durant made a very strong argument for the AudioFront Quattro to use with existing footswitches and expression pedals in this post: [What's your preferred method for changing states?]
twaw above in this thread likes the Logidy UMI 3 which I’ve looked at in the past.
My Roland XP80 has inputs for damper pedal, exp pedal and two more foot switches but I’m using the m-audio Axiom instead currently. I need to separate keyboard from foot controller.
