Hi Achim,
You'll have no latency problems with a USB pedal in Linux using the [hid]
object. No "noticeable" latency at least.
There are two problems arising when attempting to built a USB pedal : first
you need to actually make the pedal (the traditional cry baby design is
probably the easiest way to go), then you need to connect it to a good usb
gamepad. I insist on the "good" here because it is essential if you want to
have a decent expression pedal. The best would be to test the gamepad before
buying it and turning it into a pedal.
