Applications for the pedals available for the FA

Looking at the manual, I see three jacks for pedals, the HOLD jack and the two CTRL 1 and CTRL 2 jacks. I think I get that the HOLD jack just replicates the hold pedal that you find on a piano. You push the pedal strike a key and as long as you are holding the pedal down the key is played as if you are holding it down.

But the other two jacks have other possibilities. It could be a switch, I imagine, sort of like the S1 and S2 switches, except you don't have to take your hands off the key board.

But the expression pedal is entirely different. I am familiar with how pedals like this work with guitar stomp boxes, like where you can modulate the wah or distortion with the pedal. But is there anything going on already in the FA that you can apply with the expression pedal without making any changes? Are there presets that use it? If so, which ones?

I no longer own an FA, and I can not answer questions about specific presets.

The pedals can be assigned, either globally in the system settings or per studio set. There are many things that can be controlled with the pedals. Some of these things will work without special support from the tones and/or studio sets. For example, after setting the pedal to EXPRESSION CC#11, the pedal can be used to control the (relative) volume of all parts. Similarly for VOLUME CC#7, which controls the (absolute) volume.

That's good. Nothing on the adjustable pedal, but a good start.
