Minitaur CV bass pedals?

I asked this over on the Taurus forum, but didn't get any response... I want to play my Minitaur with some bass pedals and wanted to ask if anyone has tried one of these:

I can't find any other info about it online. I looked for MIDI bass pedals but could only find the Nord Pedal Keys ($2200!) and some others by Roland that were less expensive but still $600 for the low-end model.

Anyway, never seen this Firstman thing before but with the Minitaur having CV and Gate inputs, seems like it should work? What other kinds of CV controllers could I use to change the Filter/Volume CVs? Or should I just get a MIDI foot controller?

There is also the Moog Taurus II Controller.

The Controller is just the pedal unit without the synthesizer on a stick. It is labelled "Controller" on the face of the base unit and generates CV/Gate signals. And has five more notes than the Firstman.

Studiologic makes relatively inexpensive MIDI bass foot pedals. They have a an octave model the MP-113 and one that goes MP-117 which goes from C-E. They run new from $400 to $550 or so. A lot cheaper than the Roland PK-5/6.
