    Single Switch on FC Pedal Input Behaviour - Help Please!

    I have a single momentary switch plugged into FC Pedal Input 4 (an expression pedal input, as opposed to one of the switch inputs) of an FC-6 connected with a TS cable as per page 8 of the FC manual. I’m having a lot of trouble trying to get it to behave like my other momentary switches that are...

    Is there any way to assign View to a switch on an Expression pedal port?

    Thanks for the reply Chris. I'm familiar with how stand-in switches work (I currently use 4 of them on the SW 1+2 and SW 3+4 inputs), what I was trying to do is get the View command assigned to an FC Pedal input. It seems impossible. I can work around this by assigning View to one of SW input...

    Is there any way to assign View to a switch on an Expression pedal port?

    I know that a single switch can be plugged into an expression pedal port on an FC or FM9, that works fine, but I can't for the life of me work out how to assign it to the View command. Am I missing something obvious, or is this currently impossible?
