As I thought - no good to me!
I just need each switch to send out a separate
midi cc and the pedals to change values more continuously.
This is what the Zoom 8080 does. I just wanted
more than 5 switches.
Thanks for the reply.

my understanding (I have a fcb1010 here which I've never
powered up yet, but I have also used pc1600's and doepfer midi controllers) is
that the unit sends a "salvo" of cc's & pc's; up to two of the former and
five of the latter per preset, along with a note-on command.
the presets can be stored with just one cc/pc or note-on, or
anything in between. for those of us trying to control (say) a repeater's
transport, or do punch-ins on a sequencer or DAW, this is far from ideal. it
is possible to write patches for it that will send a single pc when one of the
presets is recalled, but even the most basic repeater use quickly gobbles up
an entire bank of presets and requires a fred astaire approach to one's stage
use.
how does the zoom work, then?
