Here is what I did, for different reason though.
I took a FS300 and using one of the two switches that are left and right, not the middle one it has some type of diode or some inline electronic resistor installed, i suppose you could remove it to make it work. I then Drilled a hole in the 45000 foot controller, installed a 1/4 female plug, run wires to the foot switch from the plug, to the start/stop the loop switch of the 45000. Will require some soldering. I could run others but that was all I needed, the reason i did this was the foot switches were too close to use for my feet on the 45000 foot controller. So now I plug in the FS300 to the 1/4 plug I installed on the 45000 foot controller, and control the Start/Stop of the loops with the other foot switch.
Works like a champ.BassmanParticipantHow in the world to build a looper like this and LEAVE OUT MIDI?
What were you thinking????
I am amazed that this was not installed, people who use MIDI drum machines, or midi controlled foot pedals, or even midi controlled software, was left out in the cold. EHX, you folks make a great product, but this is hard to believe that this was not part of this build. Lets, take this model and add the MIDI and call it the 22500M for those of us that use MIDI.

BassmanParticipantQuote:Has anyone been able to connect their 4500 to a drum machine with midi?It would be nice to do loops longer than 4,8 bars and also have them quantized.
Thank you
I realize this has been a while, but just in case you still need to MIDI this to a Drum Machine I will do my best to explain how to do it.
The 45000 has two ways that it MIDI Connects to a Drum Box. The first way is total sync, where the light is solid on the 45000, it then will obey Start/Stop Commands, when the drum machine is started and stopped. The second one is when it is blinking, the 45000 will only start when the user presses the unit to play, or stop. However the MIDI Clock for both will still stay on with both settings to set beat tempo.For connections, you take the MIDI OUT of the drum Machine into the MIDI IN of the 45000.
When the Quantize is ON, here is something you really need to know, the 45000 has a 4 beat count delay before you record, so in other words, when you lay down your first loop, this only applies to the first loop you record, does not matter what track you use, you must allow a 4 count beat before you start playing to record AFTER you PRESS the record button. So your recording will start on BEAT 5. This applies to every NEW loop you make. The next track you record on that loop, does NOT need to do this.
You need to turn the Quantize button ON when recording loops.
Also you need to have the Program Changes settings on the Drum Machine turned off. A least mine had to. Roland DR-770.
Just a side note, a whatever speed you record at you must play it back at that exact tempo, or it will start to change the pitch of the recording. -
