Re: FC7 pedal

Rob, I solved my problem. I bought a FC7X-II from Ashby Solutions. It reverses the polarity. Now it works perfectly! I have the full range of the pedal without having to change the expression curve at all.

Re: FC7 pedal

I heard that the FC7 pedal might benefit from switching the polarity. I tried this -- I got two 'splitter' adapters and reversed the connection. This di...

FC7 pedal

Is anyone using an FC7 pedal with MIDIExpression? I can't get it to work right. I run through 0-127 in the first 10% of the motion of the pedal. The scaling doesn't really help much.

Playing live with Mainstage

Hi, I want to use the MIDI Expression when I am playing live. Can you tell me if this will work: I will use a USB controller keyboard into my laptop. I will also plug in the USB MIDI Expression to the laptop and use an expression pedal. Will the MIDI Expression show up on the same virtual instrument...
