Storm Summoner: Turn FX pedals control into a performance

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"Storm Summoner ( https://http://stormsummoner.com/ ) grants full access to effects pedals, enabling real-time control and tweaking with its multitude of sensors and inputs. Thanks to a huge database of pedals, setting it up is quick and easy. There's also an event handling system here that can be exploited musically in several ways.
