problems with X7 and Expression pedal

how do i use the FV-300L with the X7 to control volume?

i tried using every way i could think of, but the max volume is only up to 8 or 7. and that's after i pushed the volume all the way to max (several times).

please help me. thanks.

You use it EXACTLY like a standard volume pedal.

The (audio) OUTPUT of the Fantom goes to the INPUT of the pedal. The OUTPUT of the pedal goes to the INPUT of your sound system.

If you have a stereo 1/4" instrument cable you can also use it as an expressions pedal.
dansgold, you're a smart guy from reading your stuff. Can you use the 2 outputs from the FV 300 simulanteously, i.e to control to 2 keyboards (I have run a cable to both, I just don't want to buy another pedal).

Thanks,

Rick ... Yes, you can do that ... but it might not produce good results.

Quite a few keyboards use stereo effects or even samples, running them in mono (one side through one channel of the FV300 for each) might produce an inferior sound.

Your best bet would be to buy an inexpensive stereo keyboard mixer with enough inputs for both keyboards, and then run the final stereo output through something like an FV300.

I didn't think of that but that's a great thought. I have Roland's stereo keyboard so I'm good.

I knew you were a smart guy.

Thanks,
