Re: MIDI pedal board for Line6 Echo Pro

[Andy Bettis <andy@dance.demon.co.uk>]

Hi,

According to the manual (yes, I got a manual!) MIDI program 103 does 
the record/overdub switching.

The Midibuddy still looks a bit big for my uses. I'd like to keep the 
looping controls separate from my MIDI program changes (for the other 
kit), so I don't need to get into MIDI routers, etc.
