Redneck MIDI sustain pedal - DIY

Step 2Make it a pedal

Make it a pedal
1.Take your favorite tool (scredriver, knife, ruler, fork) and remove those little bits on the cover that make it snap and lock closed. There are usually four of them.
2.Now press on the cover and see if it bounces back with enough force.
3.Add more paperclips on the inside to your satisfaction.


Note that you probably won't get enough force to sustain the weight of your foot, unless you have really hardcore paperclips.
