The MOTU Midi Timepiece AV/USB has 8in 8out for midi, extensive rerouting/remapping capabilities, has the ability to store up to 128 programs of custom setups, can send sequences of up to 4 simultaneous midi CC/PC or sysex messages (with each patch change), and has 2 1/4 inch jacks for footpedals or switchs that can be assigned to anything you like. It even has a jack for beat detect. And this does not even cover what it can handle in a recording studio such as ADAT sync, Word Clock, SMPTE, etc. Steve > Unfortunately the Studio 5 doesn't have multiple inputs for switches > and pedals, so you'd need some other interface to provide conversion > from these physical controllers into a mappable MIDI stream.
