** I am unsure if it's exactly what I want - this version responds from 'G to D'. Unsure of how that translates to a standard MIDI control pedal from a typical guitar rig we may have to make adjustments as necessary. Additionally, this implementation is a combination of what a typical system does - this will take a note and trigger a pin out. That's handy, but we want to be able to store the state of any of the 32 pins, save that and restore it later based on the MIDI channel change. In fact, this project is more of a way to guide us in thinking than anything close to the lifecycle we need to support - MIDI in, demux channel, retrieve memory, trigger pins -> relays. Thats a lot different than MIDI in, trigger pins :)
