Anyone might can help me figure out how to get my Roland FV-50L Volume Pedal to work with my new Nord Electro 5D. This is my first Nord, so I'm still getting familiar with the way things work. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

Re: Can't get Roland FV-50L to work as Volume contro
BOSS FV-50L is a standard volume pedal, not an expression pedal.
For keyboard use, its designed to go between between the keyboard outputs and the amp.
You need an expression pedal, which is a single TRS (Stereo Cable) between the pedal and the keyboard.

Re: Can't get Roland FV-50L to work as Volume contro
The FV50L is not an expression pedal, it is a volume (audio pedal) so in general you should use it only as such (i.e on the audio outputs). If you just bought it better if you return and buy a proper expression pedal.
However ypu can still use it also as an expression pedal with a little "trick": get a Y jack cable (2xmono into 1xTRS stereo) then connect the 2 mono one input (e.g. Left) and corresponding output of the FV50L and the TRS into the ControlPedal input of the NE5.
