Question on volume pedal for Roland Fantom 06

[janjake32]

Is there a way to make a volume pedal control the master volume of the Fantom 06? I have scenes created with various tones at various volume settings. When I use a volume pedal, it removes the ratio volume settings and makes all the tones in each scene be the same volume. I have tried both a Roland pedal and an M-Audio pedal. Same thing on both. I thought I read somewhere about setting the ratios via partials, not zones, but I'm not sure I understand that. If anyone can enlighten me, I would appreciate it.

If the pedals you are talking about above are "expression" pedals then the issue is that you have the pedal assigned to control cc#7. CC#7 "volume levels" all of the volumes. Within the patch that you created assign the pedal to control CC#11 (expression) rather than CC#7, it maintains the volume 'ratios' of the tones.

Hi - thanks for the reply. Yes, they are expression pedals. I did have it set to CC07:Volume, so within the scene, I changed it to CC11:Expression, but the same thing happened. It changed all the volumes to the same level. Is there some other setting I'm missing?

Recheck your work, if the pedal is assigned to cc#11 it will maintain the ratios, that is what cc#11 does.
