I don't know if other controllers can do this, but I've just added an IA backtracking feature to my homemade controller that I think is pretty cool.
Normal PC backtracking is available on several controllers; for example, press P1 to choose a patch, then press P7 to choose another, then press P7 again to go back to P1. In this example you can keep pressing P7 to toggle between the two patches.
So what's IA backtracking?
Let's say when you start with P1, the Chorus is on by defualt and you turn it off, then you turn on an overdrive stomp, a reverb boost as well, and start using the wah pedal. You then change to P7 for a different sound, but now when you press P7 again to backtrack, it goes back to P1 with all your IA changes! Chorus is off, overdrive on, reverb boosted and wah pedal on.
I've also integrated this with another powerful feature I call "Intelligent CC resets" but I won't go into that here. If you're interested, you can read about it here: > http://www.gmarts.org/html/mfc.htm
Click on the "Backtracking" link in the index. In my document I've called this feature by its real name "CC Backtracking" (there's no such thing as an IA MIDI message).
