Storm Summoner: A MIDI Controller That Brings Pedal Effects to Your Desk
Storm Summoner, a MIDI controller for effects pedals
Storm Summoner is a MIDI controller designed for the new wave of stereo, programmable effects pedals that are ditching stomp switches. It features a capacitive touch wheel, assignable pads and buttons, tilt and proximity sensors, and a database of 214 pedals that automatically handles polarity and parameter mapping. With over 40 assignable actions, 128 scenes, and open-source MIT-licensed firmware, it turns any pedalboard into a hands-on instrument.
There is no black box between you and the hardware you own.

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?

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.
