Start/Stop Footswitch

[Blue Monster 65]

Has anyone here had any experience with using any sort of footswitch for starting/stoping the EMX hands-free?

I did find and read this: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=677&p=3384&hilit=footswitch#p3384 but I'm wondering if there's anyone who's either modded their machine or if a midi-switch is programmable for such a thing.

It shouldn't be hard to do, but if I don't have to hack into my EMX, I'd rather not, you know?

Thanks in advance.
