A great topic. I look forward to getting my Numa Compact 2x. Still, I might have to use another piece of gear to call up patches in external arranger modules. Since both hands are busy playing, I'd say that a midi foot controller is a good way to do it. However, some fancy midi foot controllers can be up there between $1,500 to $2,000.
