Start/Stop and Tap Tempo from footswitch

I'm trying to figure out, for live usage, if one can control Jamstix Start/Stop and Tap Tempo from a footswitch like the Molten Voltage Tempest (http://www.moltenvoltage.com/pedalsync_midi_pedalboard_devices_by_molten_voltage.html).

Since Jamstix has to be in a host, I guess it is host dependent. Which hosts might I look at?

Yeah, I've done a full forum search and I can not seem to find anyone else who desires to control start/stop and tempo with a footswitch which I find odd since Jamstix is designed to be something one jams with live.

Nobody knows? Not possible?

It's definitely a host task as Jamstix start/stop and tempo are host-based. Unfortunately, I don't know a host right off the bat that has mapping functions for this.

I'm pretty sure you can do this in Reaper.

There's a fully functional demo to try, and the forum there is great (plenty of JS users there too.) post a question on the forum there if you get stuck.

ADIG Human syncronizer http://www.adiginvention.com/ allows you to tap tempo change any host.Actually it does more than that.It reads your, for me guitar tempo,and changes the host accordingly,used it for keyboard too,just like a real live performance.Always loved the way Hendrix changed tempo all the time during a live performance.I use it with Ableton live 9.Saying that it wont work on my desktop computer because of my now antiquated Emu 1820 audio interface.But I fixed the capacitors on it so am loathe to see it go yet.
