Faderfox FT3 does this better and so much more since 2010
I looked for it and didn’t see any footswitches
I also am not seeing a footswitch solution, Neil – can you link to the Faderfox FT3 as a footswitch? Because that would definitely also be awesome. As a live musician/guitarist, this footswitch controller for ableton seems to be a game changer 🙂
I don’t really see anything in common with the FT3.
This seems to be controller dedicated to the Looper. The FT3 is just a standard MIDI controller (although it seems cool).
great stuff
This looks amazing. Especially the software side of things looks like it’s very easy to setup. The hardware is a bit too bulky for my taste though.
The idea is good. The problem in live is the latency between audio and midi external harware.
My mid range laptop easily handles 5ms round trip, latency isn’t a problem if you know what you’re doing.
