Re: [xl7] Can I use assign a midi foot controller...

You can have the local pedal do one of the things specified in the Controllers menu, which include start/stop, punch, or normal patchcord stuff.  If you're talking about an external pedal (i.e. that has a MIDI jack, not a 1/4" jack), then you'd be at the whim of whatever pedal you have allows you to transmit.

Subject: [xl7] Can I use assign a midi foot controller...

Can I assign a midi footcontroller to do more than the patchcords will 
allow?....  I play guitar and want to trigger notes, start stop 
patterns....Is that something I can do without paying to go on a 'lets 
learn midi' course? I know this is a bit cheeky, but with so many 
commitments (family/work/alcahol etc.) I'm wondering if any of you 
rocket scientists can help me out with the programming?
I'm not a complete novice with my XL7....Heres a link to a song i 
sequenced...all on the XL7....I also played the guitar...Heres a link 
to the trak.....its no.11 morning calls....

I need to know which midi controller I should, given that i don't 
really need to be switching presets.....or maybe a huge set of note 
trigger pads on the floor.....has anyone ever invented such a 
thing.....for guitarists to trigger long cascading notes on their stage 
tempo'd XL7....?
