Hey! Long time since I've been on here. Happy to see the forum is still being used!
I'm using my sustain pedal to change the rotor speed on the organ section. When I'm pressing the pedal, the rotary speaker doesn't always change speed. Instead it flickers between slow and fast, maybe changing as intended 1/10 times. The other times it just stays on the speed it was at before pressing the pedal.
Under system settings I have the "Sustain+Rotor Toggle" setting activated. I've tried several different sustain pedals. The same thing happens when I plug the sustain pedal into the Rotor jack. Anybody else had this problem? Fix?
Using a Nord Stage 3 Compact, with a Roland DP-10 sustain pedal.
DP-10 user here. The pedal is both a switch (like the flat sustain pedals) and a continuous pedal for halfpedal modes etc. Have you set its switch to „switch“?
Cheers from Germany

Thanks for the reply! It's set to "switch", still not working.
So does the Boss FS7. This pedal is nice because you can swap out the cables if necessary. As a bonus, I can control the rotor switch on both my NS3s with a single, compact pedal.

The Count is right (apart from the fact that at least one of the other hacks in the linked thread said the same thing first - not saying who) [emoji846]
It's contact bounce. Worn pedals can develop this - I've got a bunch of Roland DP pedals that does the same thing too.
Time for a new pedal.

Well this is good intel. I recently purchased an NS3 along with a few Yamaha F5's (one is for another synth). But I am having the same issue. I use it to control the Leslie on the NS3, but it's not reliable at all. I really don't want another sustain pedal down there. I'm going to order the Boss FS-5L and see if it works.

One thing you could consider is getting a latch pedal - one that mechanically toggles between on and off - if one such is available. Then bounce will not be a problem even if it develops.
