I have a patch I've been working on that is 4 loops for live performance. Each loop has a number of on/off functions like record, clear, fade 1, fade 2, mute, etc...and each has a fader for volume and pan.

I would like to control these functions via a midi foot controller (an old rocktron midi mate )

Would you use pattr or preset? Would you just use midi messages and some logic to parse the patch number and controller number to trigger each?

All the controller numbers coming out of the foot pedal should be different, so just use [ctlin] to a [select]. Should be straightforward. You wouldn't need presets or pattrs for this part, unless you want different configurations of "which pedal controls which parameters"... this could be done with gates or other means, that would in turn be controlled by your presets.

And one of your pedals could control the presets for the other pedals... and on and on. Don't forget to make some music at some point too.
