Mainstage 2 - Expression Pedal ,midy only 64 to 127!!!!???!?!?!

Hello everybody!!! Sorry my english!!

I wanted to ask a question about the expression pedal for the Mainstage 2.A see if you can fix me.

I looked in forums but not resolved.

I am setting the mainstage 2, the expression pedal. I've tried it with 2, which I like most is the FC7 Yamaha and Korg EXP-2.

I have also tried it on two keyborads controllers that I have the Axion 61 - Maudio and UF8 of CME.

In all combinations never have the full range of 0 to 127.

It is always 64 to 127.
I've gotten from 0 to 64 with other configurations, but never from 0 to 127.

You know what the problem?

Check the MIDI Status display: does the pedal actually send values over the full range? Some pedals allow you to limit the range via an easy to "misadjusting" knob on the side.

maybe this is totally misleading- but i had a similar issue some weeks ago. my mistake was a wrong cable: a mono cable (tip sleeve) instead of a stereo cable (tip ring sleeve). just in case...

As MackeZwo said, you might be using the wrong kind of cable. The other problem might be that your pedal is not compatible with your controllers. There are several methods of wiring up expression pedals, many of which are not compatible with each other. It might be possible to reprogram your axiom or UF8 to a different mode, however often it is not an option. If you search google you can find information on making your own adapter, or you can buy a pedal from the manufacturer or your keyboard. I know that for example my yamaha pedals do not work with my edirol keyboards, so I imagine you are running into the same issue.

Also as MackeZwo hinted, you will almost always want to use a stereo TRS cable for your pedals (assuming the cable is detachable or your trying to extend its length).
