A portable and hackable foot controller
The Happy Pedal a portable foot controller for the performance of electroacoustic live music. This happy controller is designed for the electro-instrumental practice of clarinet and electronics. This pedal rack is suitable to simultaneously interact with the clarinet and the electronic. The Happy Pedal is conceived to control in real-time whatever software unit.
The Happy Pedal can be easily transported due to its astonishing foldable properties! This is bananas...
Being a "clarinet player" my setup usually involves the real-time processing of the clarinet. The idea was to conceive and design a suitable interface that could allow a direct and reliable control of DSP algorithms.
A foot controller represented a suitable interface solution. Since I often travel for gigs and concerts, I generally look for portable and robust equipment. The Happy Pedal was indeed designed to fit into my backpack. It features nine different controllers: five happy switches, three knob and the possibility to connect an expression pedal.
It is also possible to connect an expression pedal to the Happy Pedal..
