I dont know if this is the right section for this but here goes

I play guitar. i have a rack of effects and preamps about 12 units. They are all midi controllable. and at the moment i use a behringer fcb 1010 as the foot controller. Basically i have it set to send program changes to all of the components together to form a "patch" The only problem is that this controller will only control 5 devices. there are some ways around this but they limit the flexibility and add a layer of complication.
What i am looking for is a program. maybe call it a translator in linux that i can creat patches that set many different outboard devices to a certain preset at the same time. and allow for changes to be passed through to the different components. like say and expression pedal going to unit 3 but ignored by the rest..

I would like to be able to program multiple presets and switch them with program chages coming from the fcb 1010. Am i asking too much or is there such a utility for linux. thanks

i guess a better description is i would like to create multiple scenes. each scene would set each different outboard processor to a different patch and i would like to be able to select multiple sceans from the foot controller

I've used mididings for similar purposes: http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/
For what it's worth, I know nothing, zero about programming in Python but managed to create presets in mididings thanks to the great documentation.

yeah im playing with that and qmidirout. qmidirout seems like it can do it but by the time i created all the the patches the gui is gonna get pretty messy

mididing. is powerfull but not user frientdly ill probably just buy a rocktron midi raider
