[sdiy] floor interface?

[Bob Weigel]

I've designed a few little goodies I use mostly with my wavestation.  I 
built a pedal on the left that has a spring return pedal that moves a 
lever that moves a slider.  The pedal also rotates and gears move 
another pot full turn with a 35 degree or something movement.  I use 
that for volume and the other for pedal controller that can be assigned 
to whatever like leslie speed on an organ patch.

Then for damper switches I created contacts strips.  Two of them that 
span the remaining width of the wood I stand on.  I can thus control the 
dampers without leaning back at all.  Just tap your toe.  -Bob
