I’ve adopted the following in weekly gig use:
1st Switch stopped - nothing
1st Switch playing - pause/unpause
2nd Switch stopped - song advance
2nd Switch playing - outro
I avoid triple taps and other artful maneuvers (stop is done by hitting Button 2 when paused) and since I employ a volume pedal (stereo) when its fully shutdown I can unpause/stop at will. I do hit the start on songs where we don’t use an intro to give the band a few seconds of ‘tempo’ reference then hit pause. Some songs (like Night Moves) the drums cue in later and this works. I’m not comfortable using the start on release function (or start on ‘press’ alternative) from the main button (timing is difficult) and since we are not playing concerts no one minds the drum ‘cuing’. I don’t touch buttons during gigs - setlists are made up and tempos, etc all built in via the Manager and downloaded to the SD card. Since I play guitar, bass, flute, sing and keep Buddy in line I’ve got enough to do.
I have the latest firmware, (Not the Beta) can I set the outro on the 2nd switch while playing? That would be sweet.
Yeah you can set the 2nd switch “playing” to jump to outtro fill (FW 1.77 - beta)

Yes, that’s the thread that inspired me although I did find a different location for the jack. Also, see the post that corrects the wiring, it’s down a couple of posts from the first one.
Thanks fellas! Just completed the mod - located the plug in the back directly under where the SD card slot is - mod went smooth as silk thanks to all your input - and works like a charm. Now I won’t have to do stretches before performances in order to reach my leg half-way across the stage from the piano bench in order to manage the drums. Sweet!
