  1. Yes, MODEP can react to Program Change messages, but there are some weird quirks, see these posts: Change Patches in Bank with es-8, and MIDI Command Server, the best way would be to have the MIDI Command Server configured to do preset changes via modep-ctrl.py script. Apart from program changes, pedalboards can be switched using different number of clicks of Pisound’s The Button, or using Pisound App.

  2. Yes, it can. If using MODEP, you should just connect the input to output, so the data gets sent through, if using something else, you have to use aconnect or to make the virtual connection manually, or our amidiauto utility configured appropriately,

  3. You can connect anything to the DIN-5 input, or USB MIDI controllers to the Raspberry Pi’s USB ports. The ports appear to the OS as virtual MIDI ports. The MIDI mapping is then up to how the software you use implements this functionality.
