Footswitch FS3

I purchased this footswitch for the purpose of sending MIDI start/stop signals to a Korg Drumlogue. After setting up the switch using the BeatBars editing software - to send the appropriate system real time message, and set to toggle switching, it works perfectly. My intention is to use the second switch to send CC signals to a keyboard for switching the rotary speaker speed on a specific channel. I will need a MIDI splitter for this as the FS3 only has one midi out. It would have been nice if a second 5 pin MIDI out was included within the footswitch, particularly as it has two footswitches, hence only 4 stars for features. I knew this though before my purchase.
