I've messed with using a 9-button dance pad as an impromptu midi controller - gives you a full octave and you use the center square as a "rest", but I can't imagine trying to use it in a live setting - it would be like trying to play a guitar in a bouncy castle.
- bluGill 1y agoThat idea was my inspiration. However I want more than 9 notes. In particular I want major, minor, and 7th chords based as well as the root note.
- vunderba 1y agoYeah totally get it. You'd almost need a "mod" key or a wireless controller to turn on a chord mode similar to how arranger keyboards work...
- jfengel 1y agoIs that possible, given that you only have two feet? Are you looking for a mode which allows you to select a chord rather than just a single note? (One foot for the root, and the other selects single/major/minor/etc)?
- bluGill 1y agoI've been looking at accordion keyboards - with the accordion layout you get 100+ buttons and you only need to push one to get a chord. However at the width of a foot that is too big, and so I'm not sure if I take a simplified layout or just a smaller version of that.
