Hi Achim,<br>You&#39;ll have no latency problems with a USB pedal in Linux using the [hid] object. No &quot;noticeable&quot; latency at least. <br>There are two problems arising when attempting to built a USB pedal : first you need to actually make the pedal (the traditional cry baby design is probably the easiest way to go), then you need to connect it to a good usb gamepad. I insist on the &quot;good&quot; here because it is essential if you want to have a decent expression pedal. The best would be to test the gamepad before buying it and turning it into a pedal.<br>

Something working somehow like a wah-wah pedal. But I am unsure if I need a device with an OSC dedicated driver, or if any USB pedal would do the job. What I primarily expect from this device is accuracy, and low-latency. <br>
Do you have any examples (photographs, audio samples) of the device you made? I am curious!<br>Achim<br><br>--- En date de : <b>Dim 6.6.10, Pierre Massat <i>&lt;<a href="mailto:pimassat@gmail.com" target="_blank">pimassat@gmail.com</a>&gt;</i></b> a écrit :<br>

Hi listees<br>I&#39;m looking for a pedal controller that is accurate enough to send OSC messages to pd, in order to control some effect patches for my guitar.<br>Can anyone help me in finding a good one, maybe providing a perqsonal experience feedback?<br>

Thanks in advance,<br>Achim<br><br></td></tr></tbody></table><br>
