I have been using Bob's ROM for quite a while now and I have to say that I would never go back. The front panel is very confusing, so I use a Behringer FCB1010 to control the thing. Using MIDI is really the only way to go with this. At first I tried the 3 button footswitch and it worked OK, but you only get a small amount of what's available. I would recommend using the FCB1010 or some other MIDI pedal where you can control what each switch is sending. Trying to map the program changes inside the Jamman is fairly frustrating. What would be very cool is a computer based editor for this, but I would no idea how to go about doing this.
