Moog Music Forum

I love playing my Sirin with either Roland PK-5A or McMillen 12-Step bass pedals. However, in both cases, switching octaves requires two button pushes. On the Roland, it doesn't happen instantly, I find there is a noticeable delay. On the 12-Step, the Select button is hard to push, despite adjusting the pedal sensitivity.

OK - enough complaining - is there some MIDI footswitch that can be used/set to switch octaves with one click?

That's a good idea: a device that can run customized MIDI cc commands, assigned to a footswitch?

There must be something like that out there. Didn't Moog make a multifunction MIDI pedal, a few years ago?

The Moog MP-201 was hard to program, as there was never an editor.

Plus it is quite stellar priced on the used market now.

You may want to check out the MidiSolutions products,: they propose a lot of programmable boxes and their sw editor.
For example, the Dual Footswitch Controller could help you.
I know this brand since a long time but have never their products.

One step further is to get a small cpu board, e.g. Arduino, and develop your own firmware. I've thought about this to make my Little Phatty duophonic... maybe some day

Oh and if you happen to have a Clavia G2, it will do the job too but is quite cumbersome for this use

Thank you for the suggestions!

I think the Morningstar MC-3 would work. Not seeing them in-stock - hope they still make them! I don't need to do a lot of things - just shift octaves and maybe select presets.

I did not know about those MorningStar products, thanks for sharing.
As far as just changing presets, the Tech 21 MidiMouse could do the job.

Yes, those Morningstar controllers look pretty slick!

Thx for the link & info
