Hi Ed and Jon,

Actually what Jon suggested is working perfectly, so I can program my pedal
so that I can get notes F, A, G, C then I program one pedal as OctaveDown
(Pitch bend 0) and one Pedal as OctaveReset (PitchBend 64).

Now I can play the notes in verse normally and when comes the middle section
of song which needs the same notes played octave lower, I just hit
OctaveDown button and it works perfectly. Back to the verse again and I hit
OctaveReset pedal and continue playing using the same octave as in the
beginning. So thank you Jon.

>(My band's got a lot of knowledge/experience in using MIDI live.)

Yes, the one thing I can remember from your website was definetly the
diagram of your midi connections ;-) ...

Maybe you can share some tips using MIDI live. Because situation with my
band is currently changing, so we have been playing together with sequencer,
and found out that it's actually quite boring and now we would like to start
doing everything live - You know it is annoying when you are playing guitar
and singing same time and then you realise that there is nothing to do with
your feet during the effect change pauses :-D ...

Actually how do you use samplers live? Are you playing phrases/loops from
there, if so how do you synchronise the drummer and loops?
