here is the mididings configuration file:

--cut from here------------------
#!/usr/bin/python

from mididings import *

def ev2print(ev):
    return "./loadpreset {0:d}".format(ev.program)

run(
    Filter(PROGRAM) >> System(ev2print),
)
--until here---------------------

This will call the shell command "./loadpreset" with the program number
of program change events as an input argument. You can put in that shell
script whatever you want. You need mididings
(http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/ from Dominic Sacré) for this to work
(this is not my work). I connected a Behringer foot switch controller
FBC 1010 as a controller.

For the rest of the tools I mentioned please give me one or two more
days... To have at least a minimal bit of documentation :-)
