USB Midi for Multi Effects unit

Hi!

I'm thinking of building a USB MIDI Controller, for use with one of my Multi Effects unit, using either a Teensy or Arduino.
I want the Pedal to recall patches, scroll through patch banks and maybe also activate an effect or two.
I know this require some programming, done with the Teensy or Arduino software, in order to make the program changes.
Has anyone here built something like this, and might be able to share some information about it all?

My Multi Effects unit doesn't have MIDI ins and outs, only USB.

Thanks!

USB in ?

USB Host or USB Device?

Yes, USB in. The USB is used for connecting the unit to PC to edit patches, record as an Audio Interface and updates.

Hi,

I'm not sure about your question?

The USB is there to connect the unit to PC to edit patches and to use as an Audio Interface and for updates.

So technically speaking that would be USB OUT or Midi device (Pieter's definition is for sure more correct)
That means that most likely

You won't be able to do that through USB.
