Just been flicking through the manual for roland's new pedal, doesn't 
seem very impressive. The midi channel seems to be set globally and 
the unit is nearly as wide as the FCB1010, being shorter by the width 
of the end exp pedal. In addition, changing from preset 5 to 6 
involves 2 presses, since the two banks of 5 share the same pedals. 
Hmmm.

There are inputs for 3 more exp pedals - I wish they had offered the 
pedals as optional upgrades - firstly some people don't use/need them 
and secondly it's useful to position the pedals on the other end of 
the board, or even away from it (eg for a wah pedal at the front of 
the stage).

What we need is massive sales of the gordius units, allowing 
production of an "impoverished musician" version ;)
