If you want to make something you could get a midi controller footpedal and hook it up to ssm, ams, ecasound, pd, maybe even jackrack. It would be fun but you would have to lug a notebook with midi or a portable PC around with you. If you want to find out about portable PCs check out my site http://www.boosthardware.com or there are a couple of other people doing similar who might chime in here. You will need a good sound card too. Probably not a usb one though as they don't do low latency very well yet. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.
