What pedal/foot controller do you use with GR6 or GR7?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

The question is in the title.

What are you using to control GR after Version 5 and since 6 and 7 don't work with Rig Kontrol? Names and model numbers, and where you bought it from...eg, Sweetwater, Amazon, MF, Reverb, etcetera!

I have zero interest in even bothering with GR since RK was ended, but if I can buy a MIDI pedal of any kind that might offer SOME minor amount of dynamics control, then maybe my interest will at least go to 1. 1 is better than zero. "Zed" for all of you in Europe, lol!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tip! I'm looking at it now...

Edit: This is the least expensive option that also contains not 1...but 2 expression pedals. The biggest drawback (if there is one) is that it doesn't have USB capability...it's just an "old school dumb" controller that has old-school wired MIDI connectivity. That's not a dis, it's just my way of describing it. I'll take this under consideration. 😁

Does anybody else have suggestions too?

I do! I have been using an Xsonic Airstep + an Airstep Lite (https://xsonicaudio.com/pages/airstep). The possibilities are endless and not limited to MIDI controlling audio software. Via the Airstep app you can create 5 presets for whatever purpose.

I use it only for GR7 (it worked perfectly in GR6/GR5 also btw). I have total of 10 buttons available and there is a possibility to add 2 expression pedals to the Airstep (I added 2 cheap Moog pedals to start with).

Some scenario's I use:

Use note on to send a single MIDI note + velocity to Straylight to initate a drone sound. I use both expression pedals to control the X/Y parameters. You can use the Airstep presets depending on the setup you want to use.
I also use Program Changes to switch scenes in Maschine. (In the future firmware of Airstep there will be an option to increase/decrease the PC values with +1/-1.

It was a challenge to set up, but for me this works great.

Thanks! Looking now, and this one looks very powerful.

My Rig Kontrol 3 does work with GR7 as an audio interface. However, yesterday I saw a youtube where some guy was using his RK3 with GR7 and he was also operating the looper by stomping on the RK3 foot buttons. So somehow he had it working, but he never said how he got it to work. I figure you have to go into the Controller Editor

HERES THE VIDEO:edit I can't post links yet here. So search YouTube for this:

I;ve used GR in the past (now using Amplitube) with a Yamaha Expression Pedal and Yamaha sustain pedal plugged into my s61 mk1 keyboard. Both work great and are tanks. Cant remember model #'s but they may only make one model of each

I only have one pedal and that is for the sustain inside the MIDI track.

For the effect changing inside GR- I use Modifiers and in-DAW automation. (which is personally much more interesting and easier, I have nothing against expression pedals for GR tho, no hard feelings.)
