Hello,

I have been experimenting with different ideas for a live rig using Ableton on laptop for sequencing, looping and a hub for FTP software and VSTs.

My question is use of foot pedals. I am not clear of the benefits of the FC-1 ft controller versus a Keith McMillian soft step pedal which I own and use for controlling the Ableton Looper.

I would think a layout like the Soft Step with 8 switches on the front is an better suited for changing patches versus using the FC-1 which seems like it would require more toggling when playing live.

The ability to easily switch FTP patches  in a live setting is a huge selling point for me so this is one purchase I could justify. 

Any thoughts?  Thanks
Thanks
