Cheap Bass Pedal

[pingywings]

Hi, what's the cheapest possible bass pedal (like the Moog taurus or Nord Pedal Keys) you can get. I don't want any onboard sounds, just something midi you can insert into your existing keyboard. Thanks in advance!

When you say "cheap" my ears perk up and point at Behringer.

Dunno how good it is, but for $149 I doubt you'll find anything cheaper

Thanks for the reply, but that wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for those foot piano things like rush used to use. I don't really know the technical term for them, I just know that the Moog Taurus is a type of one

Unless you're looking for homebrew designs or buying used, the cheapest I could come up with then is a $500 Roland PK-5A pedal.

Yes, apart from the Moog Taurus, I don't think anyone makes Bass Pedals.
MIDI pedals are made as controllers for organs, really, so it's only Organ Manufacturers that make them: Roland, Hammond/Suzuki, etc.
It's a bit of a niche product, so I don't think any of the cheaper brands such as Behringer make them.

Thanks guys, I think you're right Oyst3h, niche product so everything seems to be way expensive. I've seen projects where people take an old organ pedal and DIY midi onto it, they tend to be around under £100. Might just do that ^^
