Just curious if anyone's ever seen a MIDI-controllable blender pedal anywhere, or know of who might make one. I was thinking about shooting an email to 4MS as they do custom work and are one of the few pedal makers that work with MIDI, but a production unit from somewhere would obviously be cheaper.
Thanks
 
Yes. The primary function would be CCs tied to the blend level, so you could sweep through the blend with an expression pedal that's hooked into a MIDI controller. But the option of choosing a couple predetermined settings (100% clean, 100% affected, 50/50 mix) by either PCs or CCs would be nice as well.

It is not exacly a walk in the park from the development viewpoint but it can be done. Please feel free to send me an Invalid Link Removed. I should be able to help you.
 
Does it have to be a pedal? There are a couple discontinued single space rack line mixers that were midi controllable. One of them was a MOTU Mixer 7s. It has seven stereo inputs and you can control level, pan, bass, treble all via MIDI CC's. I picked one up on ebay for $50, and used it as part of a complex MIDI guitar rig.
