I don't believe the KMI controllers will let you do this specific trick, but I haven't kept up on the firmware updates.

I can see how important these options would be for controlling hardware, but for computers, if you need something like this, you can easily make it happen in Bidule, PD, Max or whatever.

really?
I think it would be quite complex in Bidule.
You'd have to first create some kind of timer component.

...or you did it already?

I've also implemented a midi processor with a Pure Data patch running on a Raspberry Pi in the past to use on a pedalboard without any (other) computer.

hmmmm, the PI sounds like it could be useful.

what's it's latency as a midi processor?
...and would it use a standard midi interface?

..and they've brought out a new ultra cheap version, £5
i.e. less than 10 dollars/Euros

Don't know about audio latency either...but could be a bright future ahead for DIY

This is not to say that I wouldn't also like to own a Gordius...

:-)
yes you'd love it
