well it's not easy being a question answerer ;-)
I get the posts through the digest, with a bit of a delay.
So by the time I get to read the question Kim's possibly 
already written a brief essay about it and posted, leaving
any extra comments redundant.
Most obvious tactic is to wait to see if anyone else answers 
first. (then forget)

depends on whether you want to keep the standard footpedal
next to the MIDI controller.
...but anyway there's just loads of possibilities


Note that the different InsertMode possibilities have direct
access from MIDI. (halfspeed, reverse , replace etc.)
Having all these functions available at once is 
the first thing I tried.


Using the controller like a Keyboard, sending Note-on to
select Loops looks like fun.  Controls most functions.
( "Double-Click – SmartButton Presses")

The "presets" are useful for things like going in and out of Quantise. 


It all depends on what you want to achieve musically.
