I've set up a Midiworks AGO pedalboard with the C2D and have two Midi operational questions that I'm looking for help with:
1) I'd like to control the swell expression (cc 04) of the Swell volume with one of Midiworks shoe pedals via Midi IN. I know that I am sending Midi data on channel 04 but the Nord is not responding. Is there a way to change the preconfigured settings for the Swell section being controlled by the Swell Pedal input on the back of the C2D so that it responds to regular Midi input via channel 4?
2) Can the volume of the Great also be controlled by an additional Midi expression pedal? I note that a "Ped Great Man" is listed in the Midi CC list for channel 117.
Thanks for your help!

Re: C2D MIDI pedal control protocols
Hi, I am afraid you are confusing the concepts of MIDI "Channel" (Ch) and "Control Change (CC)
In order to control the Swell/Great via MIDI you need to set the MIDI device (the pedalboard/pedalsj to send the appropriate CC number (4 for Swell) on the same MIDI Channel set as Upper on the C2D (see MIDI parameters section of System menu in the C2D manual + also ensure the MIDI Control Change Mode parameter of C2D is set properly to allow Cc receive)
The Ped Great Man Cc is related to the Pedal-to-Great switch, I am not sure the C2D allows to have a separate Swell control for Lower (if it does it would be by CC 4 sent on C2D's MIDI Lower channel, you can try that).

Re: C2D MIDI pedal control protocols
Thank you for this. No, I just didn't describe the situation correctly - I do understand the differences here. Yet, you confirm that I am correct in assuming that I can indeed send cc to the Nord without having to use the Swell Pedal input. I will confirm that I have things set to receive cc on the instrument. Also, your answer to my second question was helpful, too. I will try that. I very much appreciate your time on this!
