Hi all, thanks for all replies!

 > if this is the one i got (looks pretty much the same) it is nothing 
more than a usb keyboard that only sends one letter on pedal down.

If that's the case, then it would be quite easy. Thanks for the tip, in 
the end these are so cheap that I will just get one and find out.

long, you might want to filter those out.

but it does the job alright (well, the concept is simple enough) and 
it's cheap.

Yeah, I have seen some reviews saying the same. My patch already ignores 
any input within 200ms from a previous one, so it should be fine, but I 
will let my friend know about this.

These look great, I will see if my friend doesn't want to invest a bit 
more and get one of these for himself.

@Matt

These look nice as well, but the cheapest shipping costs to Europe are 
more than the pedal itself! :-(

Thanks again to you all!

Cheers,
Gilberto
