Midiocracy

OK Looperati - 

After 3 days of tearing my hair out, researching on the web, and one 
perplexing visit to a Guitar Center MIDI hotshot about a third of my age,  
I am crying 'uncle' and calling LD tech support:

Is there really no way to synch an EDP or LP-1 with rhythm tracks from 
Logic Pro, *and* control the looper with a MIDI footswitch (FC300) ?

• The loopers both have MIDI in/out/thru.

• The FC300 has MIDI in/out.

• Logic from my MacBook is using an M-Audio MidiSport USB cable, which has 
MIDI in/out.

I can get either clock from Logic into looper, or footswitch control into 
looper, depending upon cable routing, but have not been able to get both 
at the same time.

Thought I had a genius idea to use the LP-1 MIDI clock out to drive 
Logic's BPM (instead of the reverse) only to find that Logic Pro 8 cannot 
operate as a slave.. gah !

Truly appreciative of any pointers. It's OK to point and laugh too.
