Firstly, thanks Line6 for recreating one of my favorite pedals. I loved my DL4 (it disappeared at some point) but that darned 14 second looper limit was pretty frustrating to use, at least for my "backing track" application (e.g. a I-IV-V chord progression). The new one is better in every way. BUT....
I am trying to use a Roland FC-300 (https://www.roland.com/us/products/fc-300/) to emulate the four footswitches with the FC's switches using MIDI CC's -- this lets me keep the DL4 on top of my amp so that I can knobfiddle without having to bend over. It works -- sorta -- but for the record/dub and play/stop switches, pushing the FC switch for either of those doesn't work exactly like the DL4's. My first problem is that once I'm in record mode, I cannot exit it to continue playing the loop by pressing the (MIDI) record/dub footswitch, as I can with the DL4 record/dub one. The only way to exit it is to press the MIDI switch for Play/Stop, which stops the loop.
The FC has two options for CCs -- momentary and latch. Momentary doesn't work right, as I would expect it should since I am assuming the DL4's switches are the momentary type. Latch works better, sorta, but not much. My point is that the DL4 and MIDI switches do not behave identically. Can this be fixed?
Thanks,
Dave
