footswitch to send midi note on commands

[Plan-B]

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out my options for footswitches that can send midi note-on commands and not just the standard program and control changes. As I understand it the Behringer FCB1010 can send midi note but I'd like to find another option as it's the size of a battleship and the expression pedals would be useless in my application. I've heard the Yamaha MFC10 and Roland FC300 can possibly do it but again they are large pedals with useless expression pedals.

I've found another two (Rocktron Midi Mate and Tech21 Midi Moose) which would be perfect for my situation if they do indeed send midi note on. Unfortunate I haven't been able to find confirmation in the manuals or anywhere online that they can. If anyone can confirm that the Rocktron can send note commands please let me know.

Some other pedals that look promising are the G Lab and ENGL but I haven't discerned it they have midi note capability yet. I also have heard of the Midi Solutions Event Processor but don't like the idea of shelling out for it AND a pedal. Although if there are no other options that might be the route I go. If anyone can shed some light on this and maybe list out a few pedals that do support note on commands I would really appreciate it.

Cheers,
Chris.

Neither of these devices will do what you want according to reading the manual.

The rocktron includes a proper midi implementation chart on the last page, that tells you what you need to know.

You have to guess with the other one but it looks like it's program change only.

Midi solutions stuff is small and amazing... but you get what you pay for.
