Guitar Impedance Loading/Buffering etc for Pedalboards

2 sustain pedal options for midi keyboard?

My Midi Controller allows me to add 2 Sustain pedals. Of Course one I use for Sustain, but I don't know what is best to use the other for.

Please know my keyboard knowledge is small and I use it mainly for softsynths. :D

Can I start/stop Sonar Live with a guitar pedal?

Hello,

OK, I tried asking this question in the "MIDI" forum, but haven't gotten a clear answer in over a week so I thought I'd try here.

Is it possible to start/stop a sequencer with my Boss GT-3 guitar fx foot pedal? I'd like to be able to do this for live applications. I know I can start and stop a sequencer with midi, but can a guitar fx pedal control this?
