Cool! I have my devices chained together via MIDI thru.. as long as they're all on separate channels, it works fine.

A USB foot switch? At the moment I just put my songs in a playlist as they are wave files. I was going to use Conductor or Jukebox in a similar way but with my BIAB songs, but a USB switch might be a bit more versatile. Does Band in a Box recognise a USB foot switch or am I missing the point? confused grin


far as I know, ALL programs recognize this kind of foot switch. Basically, it works like a keyboard, except you configure each pedal to send whatever keystroke you want.

Since I use it inside RealBand, I have the buttons set for the keystrokes required to OPEN a new song, to PLAY the loaded song, and to SAVE the current song.

The reason I have it set to SAVE is because I use the COMMENTS screen for my lyrics and chord sheet, and I need to save the song the same way I want it to open (with the lyrics covering the menu). The simplest way to save a song while the menu is covered up is to use the foot switch. That way, when I develop my songs, I can make a lot of quick saves without jumping through hoops.

Even if you use a playlist to automatically stream your WAVs, a you could set it to pause between songs until you send a keystroke from the pedal... that would give you time between songs to make announcements or whatever.

But... if you stream wav files, you lose the ability to send CCs to your devices. That's why I use RB as my delivery engine.
