I would think an arduino is more appropriate as a foot controller as it 
has real-time response, can connect via USB or MIDI(with 2 extra 
resistors and a connector) and uses less power. (or the teensy, which 
can operate as MIDI over USB and is even smaller than an arduino)
The rPi would be better as the thing that's controlled by your foot.
