Volume pedal with Stage 4

Post by gfrsurp »

Just got my new stage 4. Volume pedal does not change the piano or synth volume just the organ. It did work correctly so I assume I touched something I should not have. but can't figure that out. Help! Thanks. FYI its a FC7 that shows in setup changing the volume but does not. It is updated tp 1.24.

That's because at the moment you likely have it plugged to CtrlPed and with CtrlPed Function in System menu set to Ctrl+Swell (and Swell affects only Organ)

I think you need to read NS4 manual more carefully, particularly the different Function you can assign to CtrlPed and SwellPed in System and also how the Morph works (to assign CtrlPed to control parameters, like a Synth or Piano layer volume).

I have set to control without swell. It does organ only still. I do not have the hard copy manual so downloaded PDF. I assume you don'y assign a morph to everything except organ? It worked fine for a while and as I poked around away it went. Hoped someone would know the mistake I made. Thanks for your reply but still looking

We all use the .pdf :-)

The morph is something assigned on a per Program basis, if you want to control the general Volume instead you need to plug the FC7 into the SwellPed input and configure it as Volume+Swell in System Menu.
