I got two of these and am very happy with them:

Thanks. Iā€™ll check it out. Iā€™m a sucker for small. And, well, I donā€™t have a lot of space. :slight_smile: This looks promising:

I just want to share my pain with you. Yesterday I added a Walk to my Escape From Noise cart but didnā€™t checkout, I planned to do it today. Now itā€™s out of stock :frowning:

I like the yamaha foot pedals and their flat black look. I would be too bothered by that loud FZONE logo. :rofl:

Thanks very much (and I agree about the logo thing). I think I psyched myself out by reading up too much and was concerned about polarity mismatch. I guess itā€™s with other hardware/software.

I usually have my Yamaha footswitches tabletop (for use with hands). This would be so much more sensible!

Whereā€™d you find that button?

Lemme just say, a few hours into it, how much Iā€™m loving this Walk, and thatā€™s with just one sustain pedal so far (Yamaha FC5). Iā€™ve got it controlling the record of my Soundmachines UL1 microlooper, into which Iā€™ve plugged my electric guitar via an A-119, and the Walkā€™s XOR is separately telling a low sine wave on my Hikari to play or not based on the same trigger. This is super. Much to explore.

Iā€™m also very interested in a Walk. Iā€™m thinking of using it with Pressure Points and a precision adder to transpose and expand the PPā€™s four notes.

I also had an eye on the one at EFN but missed it due to my hesitation. Now they seem to be out of stock everywhere.

Thanks! Didnā€™t remember them.

#25

Sorry, that might have been me. I was afraid of missing it due to my hesitation too and then found a way to overcome the hesitation by purchasing a proper 3-way pedal for my piano action and needing something to recycle the simple pedal it came withā€¦:slight_smile:

Though I mostly use it as a button on the table by now. Also might need a second pedal for the full potential. Anyway the hesitation was not vindicated.

Iā€™ve got a Walk question. Iā€™m just getting the hang of using it in combination with my beloved lofi Soundmachines UL1uloop. I need to rerun some of my tests, but what Iā€™ve found is that whether I use the M(omentary) or (T)oggle outputs to trigger, say, the UL1uloopā€™s Rec(ord) function, it takes several steps after each successful trigger to re-trigger it. I wanna run a few more tests, but figured Iā€™d ask at this stage if anyone else has tried the combination. Itā€™s not a big deal. I can click a few times and reset it. It would just be smoother if doing so werenā€™t necessary. Right now Iā€™m using the UL1 to cull a bit of tone from my electric guitar, which is going into the UL1 via a few bands of spectrum from an ADDAC601 Filterbank, the original sound having entered the system via a Doepfer A-119 Ext In. Thanks.

Are there any plans to make more of this module?

Both of the pedals that came with my walk died in the last month and I was about to order some replacement ones but then I realized that I probably had the parts to build a dual foot switch into a tiny Hammond enclosure. Tada!
It was a satisfying build for multiple reasonsā€¦
Make use of my stash of random radio shack artifactsā€¦ saved me from buying more stuffā€¦ and most satisfyingly fed my regular pre-tour desires to miniaturize everything.

Iā€™ve done this (a couple of times) but always used normal ā€œstompā€ switchesā€¦ curious how those hold up, if you are using your feet to activate them and not your handsā€¦

#30

Iā€™ve used them on other DIY projects before and they hold up fine. the only one that ever failed on me was because TSA repacked my pedal case in a way I can only describe as moronic (borderline evil).

I need to get some more clickless stomp switches at some point. I hate when the click can be heard over a microphone.

#31

So Iā€™m going through this years after the actual post but this little idea just blew my mind. Iā€™m totally going to build one.
