[QUOTE="trimix, post: 144959, member: 2238"] The Patchmate Loop 8 Floor will not do it alone for the simple fact it won't generate MIDI program change messages for your RM4 channel selection by itself. It has 128 MIDI presets, but you can only directly select the first 8 on the unit itself and even those 8 don't send a corresponding program change to it's output when selected. I already had a big old Rockman MIDI program selector from my 80's rig so it didn't stop me from integrating the Patchmate as a loop switcher/channel switcher/preamp selector. I use it to select from two outputs on a stereo wired guitar, bypassing a buffer in front of the pedals, bypassing pedals before the preamps, and which preamp those pedals will feed. I use it for channel switching my non-MIDI amps. I use it for selecting which preamp feeds the power amp input, bypassing pedals in the loop between the pre and power amp, and bypassing a buffer after those pedals. You need to have a looper with separate in/send/return/out for each loop to do all that, especially if some of it needs to be in stereo. Trade-off for me is I need a separate MIDI controller, but I don't have to worry about ever putting the looper into preset mode and it always has 8 individual on/off switches/LEDs for every function within each preset.
