All these answers makes me want to find out what kind of box plugs into the Midi for the Digitech to make these patch changes on the fly.



It's useful to have 2 Midi out ports if you are going to control your devices that way, because you can dedicate one port to your synthesizer and the other port to miscellaneous devices. One such device is M-audio Midiman series, which come with various numbers of ports. I used to have a 4x4, but that was overkill. Now I have a 2x2, which gives me 32 channels.. 16 channels on one port for the synth, and 16 channels to divide up among all other devices.

In the back of your digitech manual is a section on using MIDI commands to control pretty much every aspect of your pedal. ... from changing patches, to turning effects off and on, to changing amp simulations.. whatever the pedal can do with knobs and menus it can also be programmed to do from your sequencer.

At this point you should...
1) go read the section in the manual, and then
2) experiemnt, then
3) come back and ask specific questions.

There's too much to say to write a comprehensive "how to" in one post.
