Producer/Gear Strut: Korg PadKontrol w/ Footpedal

Supergood

Producer/gear fiends:I will be getting some new gear soon in order to rekindle the ol' creativity that's been dormant for way too long. One of the things on my radar is a Korg PadKontrol drum controller to use in conjunction with Live and Reason. Is anyone using this with an add-on Korg Foot pedal? I'd also like to get one of these to liven up the process of "virtual" drumming, but wanted to get some first-hand accounts from experienced users before making a purchase.
