You can send MIDI messages with a simple footswitch, with the MIDI Solutions F8 MIDI footswitch controller. In fact, the F8 can take the inputs of up to eight footswitches (not included), and use them to generate virtually any type of MIDI message. For example, you could set one footswitch to start/stop a drum machine, have another send tap tempo for your sequencer, and set up others to send program change messages. Because it's MIDI, there are pretty much no limits to what you can do with the F8 and some footswitches. Look at it this way: every single thing you own has a MIDI input can be controlled in some manner with the MIDI Solutions F8 MIDI footswitch controller and up to eight footswitches.
