As a follow up.....I borrowed a friends Boss FS6 latch-able foot switch, to demo this purported "glitch" using CC-66. I can report two things.....

1. The FS6 does not present the same issue as the Yamaha pedal, in that it does not freeze the sequencer even after you release the "latch". I can play a program, and depress the pedal to engage CC66....the program drones. I can now switch to Seq mode, still hearing the droning program, and sure enough...the sequencer tracks are frozen, stuck on track one. BUT....as soon as I release the latch, by pressing again on the pedal.....the Sequencer un-freezes immediately. This is unlike the yamaha pedal, which continued to cause the sequencer to freeze even after the latch was released...until a reboot, or until I unplugged the pedal.

2. As I just said....using CC66 absolutely does cause the sequencer to lock into track one, even while the sequencer is idle. Only when you release the latch does it free up. I find this odd, myself. An earlier poster suggested this was intentionally due to the possibility that if you switch tracks, that it would lead to hung notes (who do not get their note off command). But this seems absolutely contrary to SST implementation all over the KRONOS elsewhere. CC66 is akin to holding a note or chord on the keyboard....which is exactly what you can do with SST....hold a chord, switch programs or MODES, and it will continue to play the held chord until you release the keys. In other words.....it sends the note-off commands even while in a different program or mode. Works wonderfully, in fact! Why would using a pedal to accomplish the same thing cause a different reaction from the keyboard? Still seems like a bug to me.
