Which foot controller for ESX-1?

Post by groovyluv »

I want to be able to switch patterns during my live performance.
With a Foot Controller. Because I play guitar.
Esx-1. What brand and model of foot controller would do the job?

For example I play Verse on pattern no C01 and I wanna jump to
C02 for chorus with my FOOT.
Does it also do it immediately? Is it easy to switch patterns at the right time during the song?

(I dont like preloaded Song structures cause I like the freedom to change the lengt of the VERSE or Chorus)

I use a Behringer FCB-1010 foot controller for my EMX. Works like a charm for exactly what you're talking about. The two wah-style pedals on the right side can be programmed to control other parameters, so you can control (for example) the volume of an individual voice like the bassline.

One thing to note: After you hit the pedal assigned to the pattern you want to play next, the pattern change will happen when you reach the end of the one that's playing, not instantaneously. It's not hard to deal with at all, just FYI.

That sounds awesome! I always said it'd be cool to hook up a wah, but never heard of anyone that actaully used it like that. Interesting :lol:

Does it work directly or Do u have to assign each parameter for the foot pedals?
Can I use the Wah/volume pedal of the Behringe FB as the arpeggiator chagin the notes of the synth?
