hej!
I 'm looking for a linux software to play soundfiles controlled by
a footswitch on the serial port. (just possible to control start, rewind,
stop) .
Usually I'm using jack/ardour but haven't seen the possibility to use a
footswitch to control the software.
Even a howto for using a footswitch as an input device for a perl script would
be very helpful.
Any ideas?
thank you very much for help
cheers

You can use a MIDI controller (like the M-Audio Evolution controller),
which uses the usb-midi interface to control things like transport,
sliders, etc. I bet there are foot-switch controllers than can be used
as MMC or MTC masters also.

I don't have a howto, but some thoughts:
reading the serial port is probably provided by the /dev/ttyS* device files.. read up on
the serial tty driver in linux. Then i suppose you can use std file processing in perl [i
dont use perl, but i heard it's rather complete :)]. The last thing you need is a file
player which can be remote controlled. Either just launch aplay processes from the perl
script, or use xmms remote controlling for example..

Florian Schmidt

or produce alsa seq events which can then be routed to any number of softsynths, sample
players, etc..

I do this in Ardour but with midi. I use an old Digitech RP10 guitar fx
processor with midi capabilities. I can use program change data (either
0 up to 127) and if I assign midi to a fader, it sees it as a level. So
127 = loudest and 0 = off. Not the intent of PC midi but works anyway.
There are cheap midi foot controllers out there. I use the volume pedal
on CC 10 and assign to one fader in the Ardour mixer for live use.
I don't have a howto, but some thoughts:

Don't know if it helps, but I really find that kind of homemade thingy
interesting :

I think there should be some framework/lib for building and interfacing
with custom external devices like that. I mean, this one, look at the
wiring, it really seems easy to make.
