yes, I like their "Interconnecting System" with XLR cables
only one MIDI conversion box, not on the floor.

one of the boxes sais: "Sends Program Change 1-7 or 7 different 
Control Change commands"
CC is enough to start functions on the EDP
but to really profit from the whole functionality, you need a pedal 
that sends and off command when the button is released. They probably 
dont do this.
but they could update the software maybe?
Insist!

you are right, it should have a USB connector (which also feeds it)
