The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Well, I have an sw1k, So I want to use the sustain for some of the
instruments and I want to use the Wah type pedal for FX send level or
whatever.  I can run one from my Roland controller keyboard and the Wah
type I will run Via my peavey midi controller, that way I can assign it
to anything that takes any midi message, including sysex.  I could even
control the DSPF with the Wah type pedal if I got bored enough!

Thanks for mentioning the Foot volume pedal, they guy in the shop wasn't
exactly clear about it!

I have never used either type of pedal before, but if anyone has any
other ways of using one let me know. (Yeah, yeah, I know foot up, foot
down, nothing to it!)

Would using it for after touch be viable?

Thanks again,
