I like the ideas here! I have just purchased the new HOG2 which comes with the new Exp Pedal. It’s a real downer that you can’t just hold a position on the pedal. Surely for the volume version that’s a must?!
Like you guys said… Either another axis on the accelerometer or pressure sensor or a cradle that has some small amount of friction to it that allows smooth movement but enough to hold the weight of the pedal when you take your foot off. Also agreed, the pedal wanders off all the time. Very irritating.
On the up side, the pedal is very accurate and sensitive to me. And if you do have to hold it one position it’s easier to do so than the old m-audio exp pedal, which i found i tended to knock it as i took my foot off.
Please consider some of these ideas EHX!!
