Question

Ipod and foot controller

Is there a way to control the Ipod (play, stop, next song, back) with a foot controller. I am looking for this device to play my backing tracks during live show (I play bass).
Any advices are welcome 😉

Hi Bruno,

Interesting question. I couldn't find a foot controller but would an Apple Remote help? Available here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB125G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=NzU5OTc0#overvie w

Might be able to manage it that way....

Carolyn 🙂

Hello Carolyn, thanks for your answer. I already have this device and it is a bit difficult to manage the rock'n'roll attitude, the instrument, the fx pedal floor… and the Ipod remote control 😉
I did some search on the internet and there are a lot of people who are playing with an Ipod as a backing tracks player and they all are missing a foot controller !!!!

What you need is two more arms 😉

Would Garage Band tracks work? Zillions of those in that software.
