Rhythm and Looper for G1Four? #25

Hello.

Can you control G1Four's Rhythm and Looper function via USB midi? For example, start, stop, rhythm, and tap tempo.

I think there might be sysex messages. Does anyone know about them?

Not as far as I know. I and @mungewell worked out the GCE-3 - albeit I haven't written it up.

The best I can do is control it with hardware.

That is beginning in series of how to add hardware control to a B1XFour.

I am awaiting some 16 pin GPIO extenders to finish the project. I made my own 4 x 4 input but I don't know how to make an expander.

Oh - by GCE-3 I mean the sysex for a G5n, G3n - but to be fair does the Zoom Guitar Lab allow looper and rhythm to be controlled? I know it doesn't expose the pedal (and I have not found sysex for that but someone made a great point ... say you map pedal to param3 ... then if we can read pedal we can map sysex to param 3 scaled by pedal range...)
