The bonus of method 2 is that you can use ANY midi foot controller, and aren't tied to a single box, and you can use it outside of YouTube as well as you could use it to control keyboard shortcuts for your DAW or other software like your browser, email, whatever. If you already have a MIDI foot controller and a MIDI to USB device, you can basically do this for free. Then just map the Midi footpedal to the keystroke that the chrome plugin uses to set the loop start and end points, and you have everything you need.

You can either use their plugin and figure out which keystroke combination triggers the looper function, or there are a handful of free chrome extentions that do the exact same thing. The only thing missing is the looper functionality (which is what the UD Rep browser plug-in is for). From there you can program the keystrokes for each MIDI signal.

#MIDISTROKE PC#

Hook the midi controller to the USB to MIDI cable and plug into your PC or mac and load up the midi to keystroke converter software. PC - Midikey2key (Free) - or 's MIDI to keyboard software ($30)

THis gives you everything but the looper (see below).Дў) If you have a midi pedal already (I have an old ART X-11 gathering dust somewhere), or can find one for cheap, then all you need is the following:ДЄ MIDI to USB cable (like the FORE cable on amazon for $17) It will cost maybe $60-65, including the right drill bit for the holes.

Drill the correct-sized holes for the arcade switches, inset them, plug them to the i-pac, and run the USB cable to your PC (IDK if the i-pac will work with a mac or not), assign the keys, and you're good to go. Go to a cigar store and you can grab some for free. If you have the drill bit, a cigar box will work. And a browser plugin to get the loop feature and keyboard control of the loop.ДЎ)You can mimic this with a USB keyboard encoder that allows you to customize buttons with software (i-pac is about $39), some arcade style buttons, and a box to put them in. But that's easy (see below).ДЄll the device is is a box with some footswitches and a keyboard encoder and a USB cable. Everything EXCEPT the looper functionality. Go to youtube and on a video page hit the question mark, and you'll see a list of youtube keyboard short cuts for all the function of this box and more. The first is less capable, and the 2nd is the most flexible. You can accomplish the same thing in a couple of different ways. Went to the site and saw the price: $150. I thought OK, I'd buy that at $75 or less to support the makers. I saw the Vidami UD Rep Pedal for looping YouTube videos, etc. Honestly, doesn't look like that device will currently do anything except connect to a computer (it's USB only, so most tablets and phones are out) that can support browser extensions (so even if your phone has USB, i doubt it supports browser extensions, iPhone's definitely don't, android's might, but I kinda doubt it), and even then it looks like it only works with youtube and vimeo videos currently anyways. However, the device wouldn't plug into the 3 and do anything if that's what you're asking. 5 speed when you step on the speed switch', then yeah, don't see why it wouldn't work. 'Would it work with the III?' Sure, if 'work with the III' is defined as: 'your computer audio is already coming through the III, so the youtube video you're currently watching would playback at. I mean, it's not an unclever idea, good on them for coming up with a product they can sell to people, but you could probably take an old computer keyboard, pull out all but 5 of the keys, get some sort of free software that lets you control macro actions with key presses, set the keyboard on the floor and step on the keys to achieve the same result 25x playback speed feature as it's '3 levels of speed' control. it's basically a USB input device with a few stomp switches that controls a Chrome or Safari extension that accesses basic youtube api features to set and in and out loop points (there are other extensions already that do this), and then makes use of youtube's.

Not sure what you're wishing for exactly here, but just looked up this 'pedal', and well, I'm not even sure you can reasonably call it a pedal.
