New Electro 6D owner, could use some guidance on a footswitch to control the rotary. What do you use and recommend? :keyboard2:

Hi and welcome! I use a roland EV5 but any regular expression pedal would do the work. Have in mind that it will not control the speed of the rotation, it will just toogle between fast and slow, so it doesn't matter how responsive the pedal is.
Enjoy your new toy!

Definitely can recommend the BOSS FS-5U. I use one for leslie speed and am planning to also switch my old and worn out sustain pedal for one.

Just to clarify, In the NS2 you *can* morph the rotary speed with the expression pedal (it is not in the manual but it has been reported several times here).

Thanks everyone for your comments. Makes sense that a less expensive switch would work if the expression pedal doesn’t control the rotary speed.

I also do not know, but perhaps somebody can find out and report here.
Since it is not a documented in the NS2 I wonder if it is the same in other instruments.

Edit: Well it seems that the NE6 manual does not mention morphing anywhere, so you can't! Sorry if my post was misleading.

On the electro you can also use a sustain pedal to work as a rotary control for organ and sustain for piano and synth. You connect it to the sustain input and adjust the settings from the system menu.
