And who's going to fund this project? The vast reserves of looping 
fanatics out 
there? 8->

This sounds like a *MIDI-foot-controller* to me... A dedicated pedal 
leaves your
*other* floor peds/boards to do the tone mods, sure, but this kind of 
control 
sounds like possible redundancy *assuming* there's a midi controller 
somewhere.

The other possiblilty might be a glass interface... (Computer, PDA??? or 
dedictated music controller, with a screen)

.01 cents worth...

Still having much fun with my JamMan!
