Pedal drives me a little crazy

31 Mar 2009, 07:43

From bits and pieces of the manual, dvd, and stuff gleaned from here, I've been able to get various pedals to do various things (sustain piano patches, change some rotary speeds, etc.) But there is one seemingly simple thing I have not been able to accomplish and it is driving me crazy.

I want to run a "volume" pedal! Presumably, the EV-5, connected to the "control pedal" connector ought to be able to do that. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to set "control pedal assign" in the system menu or any relevant patch effect to accomplish this.

Help! (please.)

Manual p.72. Set it to expression. CC11.

It doesn't actually say it's for volume. It just shows that value. So I was puzzled especially because it doesn't actually work when it's set that way.

Oh well...

I just tried it on mine and it works as a volume pedal when set to Volume:CC7 or Expression:CC11. The only other thing I can think of is check the knob on the side of the EV5 and make sure it's minimum value is set to 0.
