Hi,

when I made my usb (not midi) footswitch I followed the same link
that brancomat posted.

I took a cheap usb keyboard (10€) disassembled completely and soldered a
female audio jack directly to the pcb.
It has some latency, but I didn't notice it while playing and I think
that the 6 max simultaneous keystrokes isn't a big problem.

For what it worth here there's one improvvisation that I've done with
freewheeling:

http://persbaglio.no-ip.org/downloads/improvvisando/dump.mp3

just 4 layered acoustic guitars + a cry baby wha + a tremolo applied
with ardour to the stereo wav file recorded directly from freewheeling
outputs.

Cheers,
Andrea
