Hi there,
I'm looking to start building some midi controllers as a hobby. I'll first make a foot controller with 5 to 8 momentary switches, then I'll move on to something a bit more complex for sitting on the desk! I'll be using all of this from Presonus Studio One Pro v2 and Ableton Suite 9 (and perhaps Max/MSP in the future).
Thanks very much for your time.

- I believe I'm looking for Teensy 3 - can you confirm based on what I'm doing?
- Am I correct that changing the USB type from the tools menu in Teensyduino can change the USB data to midi rather than serial? I read on a forum that it still send serial data in this case so a converter is required, but it looks to me like that would not be the case?
- It looks like I can connect up to 8 momentary switches (or other controllers) to a single Teensy 3 without further complexity - is that correct?
- Will these work with Teensy as expected? http://www.rapidonline.com/Electronic-Components/Foot-switches-79208
- I'd like to program in C. I'm thinking all I need at this point is my C understanding and Teensyduino or Teensy loader to apply my code to the Teensy?
- Once plugged into a computer will it show up on its own 'usb port' / connection? Or if I plug in 2 will they show up as 2 separate ports?
- 2 of Teensy 3 (1 pinned version to test / play with on the breadboard, the other non-pinned version for my controller)
- 1 breadboard
- The tutorial kit
- 1 usb panel mount adaptor
Thanks very much for your time.
