The pedal does as Steve said...it changes patches in the keyboard when I change banks on the pedal. I knew there was a GOOD reason I became a picker and not a keys player....MIDI is a PAIN!!! Surely there must be a simple way to have some app in existence interpret that patch change data into something I can use as controller data or "note on/ note off" even. Thats all I need to be able to toggle a volume or similar parameter in AMS to control output of LADSAP plugs. Hell...I'm beginning to think spdt switch on the audio cable!! This is too hard! :) But then I will learn nuthing willnt I!! R > > - Mark
