Re: Midi Footcontrol Problem

and....that Lex footswitch is rather cumbersome and not too exacting 
itself. 
I would opt for the Boss Footswitches. the work a lot better.
Someone with much more knowledge of the MIDI protocol could probably 
explain 
better than I just WHY there is that latency.....I can confirm for you 
that 
it is there, and suggest you not use it.
or...use MIDI to select loop banks, MIDI fade, and feedback lvl (delay 
mode) 
but use a god footswitch to tap in and out of loops.
