Can one use a hardware pedal bass board with B-3X?
If so, how? Does one have to use a DAW to make bindings for the pedal input?
Does one need a regular midiconnector and special midi hardware or can a simple USB connection be used?

I picked up a used Elka PM13. I plugged it's DIN MIDI using a Midisport DIN to USB cable. The PM13 can be programmed to output on any MIDI channel by tapping a button and then a certain pedal sequence which is pretty easy to do. Instead I used my VST host, Cantabile, to map the PM13 default MIDI channel 1 to Channel 3 that B-3X is looking for. It worked right off the bat. This would be pretty easy to do in Reaper, Cubase etc.

This should work with Crumar Mojo pedals USB midi too, I suppose?
