Re: hardware midi control--footswitch? or Jack audio transport

Haha, thank you )
But please note, that this pedal I was writing about, it doesn't send midi signals! It behaves really like a keyboard, so you can map some keys or combinations of keys to it - but not MIDI. I have seen some another utility that can transform keyboard keys to midi signals but it.. well.. it wasn't that useful for me.
Anyway, good luck with whatever you do and thanks for the tip about qjackmmc - I will investigate how can I use this stuff.
Cheers!

Thanks to all who have responded!
Len, your idea would actually be a great way if I was at all inclined
to solder, but, being blind, I rather like my fingertips as they are.
Milan, I think your answer takes the prise!
I think that app, plus jackctlmmc might just do the trick!

Thanks!
Rusty
