Looking for a MIDI foot controller to control things like Play Start, Stop, and Next Sequence.
I have the MPC One. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I see in the user manual that Play Start and Stop are MMC messages. Does anyone know what Next Sequence would be? By that I mean switching from seq 1 to seq 2 and so on...

Hi dmoracze! I was just researching this myself. I had a look at Morningstar MC6 & MC8, they look very capable.
As for what buttons on the MPC can be MIDI controlled, refer to pp188-190 of the manual, MIDI Control Mode.
I'm also interested in knowing which MMC messages can control what on the MPC, so if anyone has it figured out it would be of help. It would be great if the looper controls were MIDI mappable but I don't think it's possible atm.
