I would certainly inform Xavier about your needs or idea's. I know he
has added custom features to the Gordius, like 4 exp pedal inputs in
stead of 2. I think it was Andy Butler who requested that.

Second: Xavier is thinking of designing a successor for the current
models. I have been thinking about what the specs would of be for my
ultimate live looping foot controller. I haven't informed him about my
ideas but the time is now. It be close to the current Gordius but I
would improve the following:

- new physical model, preferably a flat model like the FCB1010
- support for more patches and presets in the editor

Idea: offer multiple models but with same specs:
- current model of little giant = 10 switches + up/down bank switches
- new flat model with 10 switches + up/down bank switches but without
the exp. pedals
- custom layout model containing the switches and a separate module
containing the Gordius "code"?

Btw: the Gordius module also works in combination with the Roland
FC-200 and FC-300, which are a little smaller than the FCB1010. Other
than that, you can connect it to any MFC but I'm sure which
functionality you can use.
