@vasselmeyer - I'm intrigued at the possibility of patch changing an MS50G via MIDI to USB, it could be the answer to a headache for me. What kind of cable do you use for this? Ideally I'd like a short one with a single MIDI connector at one end and small USB for fit the Zoom on the other.
And is there a manual anywhere of which MIDI #s the Zoom will respond to? Nothing in the manual as I can see...
Cheers.
In terms of midi commands, Zoom never documented their midi implementation but when the pedals came out, a few people stuck analysers on it and worked out the PC and CC changes which the Share and Edit software sent and reverse engineered the commands.
All you need is to set up patches and then send a PC change to the pedal from the controller. My Midi Moose just sends consecutive PC signals so buttons 1-to-5 send PC 0-4. If the controller is programmable then you can send any PC change you want via any button.
Most of the stuff on the web is around the G3 but there is a short thread on the MS-50G on Rig Talk here:

There are also videos on YouTube. Just stick "Zoom MS50G midi" into the search box and there are quite a lot of videos showing what people have done.
