I expected the unit to provide midi out and to be set up so that when you hit a single programmed patch it would automatically recognize the programmed pedals on that patch. Rocktron made it so you need to hit a switch first with your foot, before hitting the program you want, which defeats the purpose of single program recall. Oh and in the manual it says "instant recall", there is no instant recall if I have to hit 2 patch buttons to get the program recalled. Rocktron supplied support regarding this issue and gave me instructions on how to place the unit in recall mode only, the problem with this mode is that when you recall one of the programs by hitting the switch with your foot, all the lights on the unit light up that represent loops that are turned on, so in effect, you can't tell what program patch you just turned on. Obviously the guy that designed this has not played live before, so it is useless to me as a live pedal management system. The no midi out makes it impossible to control channels switchers and other midi controlled units as well.
