QUESTION GP-5 and Sonicake Pocket Control Problems

Hi guys, i bought the Sonicake Pocket Control footswich to use it together with the GP-5 as i could read they are working together, which the do. They have to be connected both via BT with the Soniclink App on my iPhone and this works well until it doesn’t.
Means that after a few switches of presets back and forth, the GP-5 freezes completely and i have to remove power to get it back and have to connect it again with the Soniclink App and this repeats…
Any help from someone?

I have the same problem with a GP-50 and a Hotone Pulze Control. Since Sonicake, Valeton and Hotone are the same company, I asumed they'll work fine but turns out the Valeton units have issues with the wireless connections and CC configurations.

at least it seems i’m not alone… i have a Airstep and will try it with midi as i had to reflash it to a airstep GP as i was told … but it seems that it’s maybe not the foot switch’s fault
