Watched the video but don't really see why the title mentions pedals. This is decidedly not a pedal. A neat interface for sure, but not a pedal you can stomp.

From what I understand the whole point is avoiding the need to stomp pedals or otherwise touch them during live performance.

Some pedals have a bunch of knobs which are a pain to adjust during live performance between the songs. So some pedals support changing the settings using MIDI interface. This device has builtin library of control codes fur such pedals. That way you can program presets for your MIDI controlled pedals in the storm summoner and during live performance quickly switch between presets with a click of single button as opposed to remember which of the half dozen pedals need to be stomped on/off for each song or worse adjusting the knobs.

> No stomping required. Storm Summoner is a touch-based MIDI controller purpose-built for effects pedals.

Does anyone have more context on how this would be used? Is this like an alternative to using a midi keyboard to control synths? Is the appeal of it that it is small and meant to be played one handed while your other hand does something else?
