Jim,

if cheap and small are the main requirements, why not look at
something like this:

This gives you four buttons for $59 via USB, and those buttons can be
mapped to keyboard commands (which in turn can trigger Mobius stuff).
So you could use that for the "realtime critical" functions and switch
between different mappings using scripts and keys on your keyboard (or
buttons on the floor thing), like this:

Setup 1
Record/Overdub, Mulitply, Mute, switch to setup 2

Setup 2
Rate Shift Advance (which with the proper rate shift sequence will
work as halfspeed), Reverse, Next Loop, switch to setup 1
