Hi guys.
I’m learning to control Ableton Live with my Alesys Photon X25 and have a basic understanding of how to map controls.
My setup has the X25 plugged into my Komplete Audio 6 with a midi cable.
I have a momentary (sustain) foot pedal plugged into the appropriate input on the X25 and I was able to map that pedal as a foot switch to the play button in Live.
This means with my guitar I can start and restart my current Live set without reaching for the keyboard and hitting space.
What I want to be able to do is start/restart and stop so it seems I need a second food switch.
I’ve looked into this online and there are hundreds of foot control setups out there but all seem far more complicated and capable than I need.
Whilst I know I’ll probably grow into something requiring more features as I learn I don’t want to spend big $$s to get the practice setup I need right now.
What do you guys suggest as an ideal, affordable foot control solution for this current need?
I guess I also don’t know how many midi devices I can connect with my current system. Do I attach the foot controller to the midi in on the X25 and then map it as a separate surface in Live?
Best,
Will
