Foot Pedal Advice: OT as Looper+

[clunky]

I’ve got a Roland PK 5 and a Korg Mpk 130, the roland has the most features.

You’d need to llok into the specs to see if it can do what you want.

Hi,

I’m a newbie in this forum, therefore I don’t know that this question was on the forum before.

I like to use my OT as a 8-track looper/sequencer on stage with EWI and Wavedrum. So I haven’t got any hands to control the OT looper buttons.

Anybody can offer me a good midi foot controller with switches (MIDI note on/off function possibility for OT)?
Except the Behringer FCB1010 controller!

The Moog Multipedal MP-201 would be excellent, but unfortunately it hadn’t been made anymore.

Any idea?

Thank you for all!
I look for this tips and I hope I will find the perfect solution for it.

Hi all. New to this so please forgive me if this question turns out to be stupid. I’m trying to find solutions to use a foot switch for my OT so that I can use my guitar to record some live looping. I have an M-Audio “Uno”, and was wondering if I could use it in conjunction with a Logidy UMI3 to control the OT? I’d also have to get an adaptor for the USB, as the Logidy is “Type B” and the UNO is USB 2.0.

Any idea if this would work?

[alfred]

It won’t work. You’d have to hook up both the M Audio Uno and the Logidy to a computer.

You’d need a USB Host device, there are a few discussions on those

And I’ll move this to an established thread on this topic (i.e. here)

If you’re into hacky Arduino maker stuff, this would be a trivial and cheap project btw

Hi everyone,

Is that possible to control scenes / fader by midi foot pedal like FCB1010?
FCB1010 seems to have two foot pedals which I belive sending programable 0-127 value CC?
Can OT’s scenes / fader control by external MIDI CC?

Thanks in advance

Hey guys

 I'm sure this has been coverred again and again but anyway, I'm curious what my fellow OT users think is the best foot switch for doing hands free loops with the Pickup machines. Nothing fancy, just a simple couple of switches that take the place of the Rec  A-B and Rec C-D buttons . I'm not familiar with pedals so I don't really know whats out there. Is there just like a stompbox with a midi i/o cable on the end? Cuz that'd be convenient...

[j_tana]

perfect! thanks! so the DMC-7 looks pretty great.

As an update information, here is a question i asked the guy’s from disaster area and their reply:

Hello out there,
i have an Octatrack MK II and want to buy a MIDI Controller to work with the Pickup-Machines from OT - can you recommend me one of your units?
I’m absolutely not a specialist in MIDI things, so i would appreciate a simple solution.
Thanks for the reply in advance!

Cheers, Jürgen

And their answer:

Hello Jurgen,

Thanks for your email.

Unfortunately, none of our devices will currently support the Octatrack.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let us know.

Thank you,

Yup, I’m curious why they dropped support. Maybe one of the staff was a frustrated ex-OT owner?
