Well, let's see...I don't know how to do something that I think I can do
with some of the gear I have and a possible purchase...just don't know.
Maybe one of you midi technical savvy guys/gals can answer this.

Basically, I want to be able to control a loop either from my PC or from
a keyboard via the midi output on my Godin guitar. I want to be able to
control the speed based on how quickly I strum the strings. Can this be
done and if so, how? I have Acid 3.0 at home for the PC but I would
prefer a sampling kybd module or small keyboard...any ideas?

Can a loop pedal do this?
