"First of all I have to make clear that the guitar and sampling are not linked. My guitar does not trigger any of the samples. It runs through a completely different rig. What I do is control the Dr. Sample and ES1 with a Yamaha MFC10 MIDI foot controller, which I started using because I got fed up with having to stop playing guitar to hit a button with my hand."
