I know that the Foot Pedal can be used to stop/start the Arp/Seq when the AN1x is in
mode 2, but I don't think you can alternate between the two modes using the foot pedal.

I would suggest one of two approaches. 1) Store duplicate Voices in consecutive programs
numbers - one with the Arp and the other with the Seq selected. I think you can program
one of the two the foot pedals to increment program changes. 2) find yourself a remote
MIDI Controller to transmit the SysEx string necessary to alternate bewtween the two
modes.

HTH,
