I don't think the problem is with the midibuddy, but with the line6 
manual. The descriptions for prog changes 101 and 102 are accurate. 
Don't forget that the looper must be reset for them to begin recording, 
rather than simply toggle on/off.

The description for prog change 104 (Looper Overdub only) actually 
belongs to prog 103. The description for prog 105 belongs to prog 104. 
Prog 105 works just like button 1 (far left) on the DL4, which is 
record/overdub/play/overdub/play/etc.

However, if you use 101 - 104, or 106 to turn the loop off, then when 
you hit 105 again, it starts back at the top with record, wiping out 
whatever loop was in memory.

Hope this helps.
