Hi All,

Questions and comments on expression pedal problems seem to come up fairly regularly on this forum.
Like a number of you I have sometimes experienced problems with sudden changes of volume with the expression attached. The pedal is in good condition and I do follow all the steps (modulation wheel setting etc) to minimise the likelihood of unwanted volume changes.
Ultimately it would seem that these problems are related to this pedal being included in the software loop. In older keyboards the expression pedal was used as a mechanical control at the amplifier input (same pedal - just a different method of application) and these problems did not occur. The advantage of software control is that the expression pedal can be easily assigned to one or more individual parts.
My question is does anybody make use of the part expression pedal capability and if not would life better for us diehard expression pedal devotees if Technics went back to the old system?

Cheers
Len C.
