I'd switch to using the Arduino MIDI library as soon as possible, I also have worked with MIDI on a seperate project and it's pretty weird, you might find some weird issues that don't make sense that they have probably accounted for in the Arduino library.
The idea is that there were many things I liked about the Eventide Time Factor I had, but all of the non-digital-delay modes were pretty awful. I love all the sounds in the Quattro and it's got proper trails bypass, so...I'll basically make a Time Factor out of them.
In fact, it may not even end up being a pedal - I might stick it in the back of the preamp/power amp rack.
Without the source code, I'd have had to reverse-engineer the circuit to figure out which relays did what, and from there work out the correct combination of relays needed to switch each channel. Then I'd have to write some code to handle all the controls (both from the front panel and via MIDI).
That would've been pretty time-consuming, and could potentially have resulted in me doing something silly that might damage the preamp.
With regard to the JVM...I'm sure an amp tech would be able to advise on the right combination of relays for each channel (although the different modes on each channel make it much more complex). Also, there's the fact that we don't know what the controller is - it's guaranteed to be a lot more complex and involved than the simple 3-channel switching on the X88R. You also have to consider the fact that there's a reason they put that gap in; it covers a thump when switching via MIDI. Take away the gap, and you might end up with something even more annoying.
That brings me to the absolute most important aspect here - the fact that it's an Atmel chip (ie one of the most popular hobbyist microcontrollers around) is what made this possible.
