I can't help you much with the FSB side, since I don't have one. But I will try to answer the EDP questions. I do remember something about the FSB pedal needing to be calibrated, so you should look into that. >I got >emails saying they work just like the other pedals. But, they don't. >For instance, record is note 38. What are the notes for Output >volume. What should VolumeCont on the EDP be set at? Or FeedbackCont >for that matter? On the EDP, Output Volume and Feedback are always controlled by MIDI Continuous Controller messages. They are never controlled by MIDI note messages. Even if you set the ControlSource Parameter on the EDP to "Notes", these two are still controlled by Continuous Controller messages. Only the button press type functions can be controlled with MIDI note messages. (like Record, Overdub, Multiply, etc.) I'll ignore this area here, since it seems you have that working. In MIDI, Continuous Controllers have two parts. One part of the command is the Controller number. The second part of the command is the value. For example, say you want to control volume on a device using MIDI. On this receiving device, you set which controller number is assigned for volume. Let's say you set it to controller #7. (In the original MIDI spec, Controller #7 was designated for volume, but in reality many devices let you assign controller #'s any way you like.) Next you set your midi pedal to send Controller #7 when you move the pedal. Then as you move the pedal, your pedal will send MIDI controller commands with controller #7, and value from 0-127 depending on the position of the pedal. In these cases, you need to make sure your pedal is sending the MIDI cc messages on the same MIDI channel that the receiving device is listening on. Now for the EDP. The VolumeCont parameter is used to set which MIDI Continuous Controller number is used to control volume. The default number is 7. That's probably a good place to set it. The FeedBkCont parameter is used to set which controller number is used for Feedback. The default is 1. On your midi controller, set the pedals to send on the same MIDI channel as the Echoplex. For the pedal you wish to use to control volume, set it to use Controller# 7, since that is the setting in the VolumeCont parameter. For the pedal you wish to use to control Feedback, set it to 1 (or whatever you have FeedBkCont set to on the Echoplex.) Now, assuming your midi pedal is working correctly, it should work! >How do I let the EDP know which expression pedal it should listen to? >How do I tell the FCB to send info from the expression pedals. >I know once I get it, I'll get it.

Let me know if you have questions or if something still doesn't make sense. kim *I really like that Lagavulin. Highland Park has long been another fave.
