the echoplex midi command list is in the manual. As Dennis pointed out, 
Source# offsets of 44 and 45 (which would give cc# 75 and 76 in your case) 
are the commands BeatTriggerSample and MIDIBeatSync. The first mutes the 
loop and waits for a pulse at the BeatSync jack to trigger it. The second 
is a virtual BeatSync pulse sent by midi.

Why not use a different midi channel for your other devices, instead of 
sharing them on the same channel as the echoplex?
