MIDI pedals

hi y'all!

i recently bought a Behringer FCB1010 to control my Repeater, and it's been
a huge improvement over the FS300, but there are some things i have a
problem with.  

i need more dedicated CC pedals to control track volume (and a few other
parameters)...i don't like scrolling through presets to get to the one for
track3 volume or the one for filter cutoff.

i also need momentary switches that will send two different CC commands on
depress/release.  i want to emulate the glitch technique that Andre LaFosse
uses, but on the Repeater (no cash for an EDP right now). it's hard to get
really short bits of sound in replace mode w/out a momentary switch.  i 
need
something that will send a CC command of 127 on depress and then 0 on
release to trigger the record function (CC#86).


i found the MIDI Solutions company...

but i'd have to buy a box for each pedal/switch. expensive :(

the RFX MIDI Wizard has 8 CC pedal inputs (and seems pretty cheap)... but
the switches don't seem too programable...and i doubt they can be used as
momentary switches.

the Roland FC-200 sounds like it might be able to do the momentary
thing...does anyone know?
people have given it mixed reviews on the list, though.

in an ideal world i'd be able to find something that does all of this, AND
has a programable led next to each pedal so the light could either toggle
on/off, or work "radio button" style when set up to control transport
functions...


but that's not gonna happen.

i have a feeling i'm going to end up with a tangle of spaghetti and 10
different pedalboards.

(my anal-retentive side shudders)


any-hoo...anyone with any advice/help- i'd love to hear it.


thanks,
