Controller & Roland GR 55

Hello, I would be interested to know what your setup looks like. In particular which hardware controllers you use. I play the Godin LGXT with a Roland GR 55. MG3 receives its trigger signal via the “Guitar out” socket on the GR 55 - Now I’m looking for a simple and uncomplicated way to control the MG3. If anyone uses the GR 55, my question would be whether the footswitches or pedal could also be used as a controller for the MG3. What are your experiences with this?

Theoretically it is possible to send out MIDI commands from the GR 55 expression pedal and CTL switch to your computer and receive those at the patchbay of MG3. However with one pedal and one switch (which you are then missing on the GR 55) you can’t do a lot in MG3. I’d recommend a dedicated MIDI controller with 2 expression pedals and at least 4 switches.
