I'm familiar with the standard foot pedal design - single-axis. Are there foot pedals that would work like two-axis joystick controllers on keyboards?

The pedals in the Trautonium have a sideways axis, and seem to be modified earnie ball models, see https://www.trautoniks.de/com/images/Pedal_S_600.jpg on https://www.trautoniks.de/com/ if this helps. I am wondering if any game controllers are capable of doing two axes. Please report any success back here.

Here are some earlier discussions on the same topic: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/question-would-an-expre… https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=34120.0 https://www.nime.org/proceedings/2018/nime2018_paper0057.pdf Anyway, the answer is yes, two-axis pedals do exist. Here's one: https://dbinstrumentamp.com/products/4e-dual-axis-expression-pedal/ (and there's a related pedal from the same manufacturer: https://dbinstrumentamp.com/products/m440-dual-axis-stereo-volume-pedal/ ) You might even score one secondhand: https://reverb.com/item/4581702-db-instrument-amp-4e-dual-axis-expression-p… More coverage: https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2014/09/18/db-instrument-amp-releases-4e-dual… https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=24652.0 Here's another, although this isn't standalone, it's built in to the Zoom G5 multi-fx unit guitar floor processor (sometimes marketed as a "3D expression pedal" or a "Z-pedal"): https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/guitars/zoom-g5-549897 https://maxwellspedalreviews.wordpress.com/2013/09/22/zoom-g5-2/ https://guitargearfinder.com/reviews/multi-effects-pedals/zoom-g5-review/ https://guitarsix.com/blog/lessons/zoom-g5-guitar-effects-review/256/1/ Good luck with your endeavours, Sam

Great list. Here is a (unsuccesful) kickstarter that's related: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wray/the-biggest-foot-balance-board-to… You may still get one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wray/the-biggest-foot-balance-board-to… Am 8/9/23 um 02:29 schrieb Sam Kuper:
