Midi Bass Pedal Foot Controller

The Vpc1 is the best midi controller on the market. As per my research from other reviews on various piano sites, the included foot pedal really is garbage. Out of the box, it has a flutter which is visible in my daw and is audible. Shame on Kawai for not changing this pedal for all the years they have been selling the Vpc1. Many reviewers went through the process of returning the foot pedal and getting a new one only to find after a couple of weeks the noise and flutter was back. Mine is already on the closet shelf and my Roland rp 3 pedal arrives tomorrow along with a purchase of a Midi Expression iO to compliment the new pedal with the Vpc1. So if you buy the Vpc1, just know you may need to spend another $300 for the perfect setup.

I purchased this foot pedal to pause a youtube clip as I try to play along to bass tablature. This works perfectly for this purpose. Much better to use a foot pedal than to stop playing each time I needed to pause the youtube video. Quite simple to set up, and the online support is top-notch to boot.

holds my midi controller perfectly, real nice.

Top quality cables. Work perfectly with my midi controller.

We will use the XK-3 foot Pedal to control our song set. We can scroll thru our songs up or down start a song and when the song ends stop it before the next song starts to play. When I received my XK-3 Media Player Foot Pedal I hooked it up to my laptop and my laptop was connected to my Bose L1 II rehearsed that evening and the XK-3 worked like a champ, the true test will be using it in a live concert.The quality of the XK-3 Media Player Foot Pedal seems to be very good. It has some weight to it looks like it should hold up but time will tell.

Awesome action on this foot pedal. Like the piano style foot pedal.

I use this microphone for DJing, plugs directly into my midi controller and sounds crystal clear.

This is a correction of my initial review. The pedal jack is MIDI assignable, which confused me to believe it could be configured as expression via MIDI, but sadly is not. Is a simple TS jack. For expression, you need a TRS jack (tip, ring, sleeve). But is nothing that takes away from this awesome keyboard. Still I believe is one of the best values under 100$. The key action is great, and very soft for fast riffs. I'll need to find a way to fit my second expression pedal in my rig.

This is a solid pedal. I needed one for my Axiom 49 2nd generation MIDI keyboard and this thing does the job well. I've had it for a couple weeks and so far so good.

I'm a keyboard and accordion player, and this pedal is used as a sustain pedal sometimes; other times it is a MIDI program switch. The pedal is compact, positive in action, and resists sliding around. In short, a fine low-cost pedal.If it were the ultimate pedal, it would also have full damper action so that partial pedaling would be transmitted -- but there are more expensive pedals for that.
