Get loopy with the DIY  Ableton Footcontroller (no soldering required)

Mike Una has just written up a tutorial on how to make a $10 foot controller for music applications like Ableton Live, fashioned out of a QWERTY keyboard. (Other possible applications: gaming, VJing.) Clever keyboard mappings allow you to use your feet to control elaborate live music performances, whether you’re a beatboxer, keyboardist, DJ, or violinist. We’d love to see what people do with it.

    Another point for those of us with bad eyesight: paint the keys. For instance, red for stop, green for play.

    Hey r080 — good idea. That suggests another iteration for this thing, which is to add color-coded LEDs for night playing.
