Been working on it on/off for some time, just didn't feel like pushing 
out [quite a few] half ideas.  I believe I have a solution (on paper) 
which should work with a dedicated pedal over a two-wire serial 
connection, while also allow interfacing with a midi to jack on/off 
switcher, like my Sholtz Rockman Octopussy or a Rocktron switchbay.
I'll be fairly busy from mid january (Cisco examns), so don't expect 
instant miracles..

The encoder isn't really that much a problem. For my uses, it's more 
avoiding a multiwire cable, and be able to interface to a standard midi 
switcher, as I need to use some presets with the rest of my setup.
Else I see myself using it more as a manually selected effects box.

A build-in midi ifc is a doable, but more complex design.
But really, if used mostly manually, it makes less sense, as a floor 
controller with stomp action CC buttons would be needed.

I need the same with my ADA Pitchraq (pitch transposer). 4 pitches and 
4-5 Vortex effects would take an extra controller. Price'n'floor space..
