FM3 volume level - expression pedal and modifiers

I have FM3 and I would like to set the volume level by regulating it with the expression pedal.
I set the range from 0-10 on channel A and it is assigned to 7 scenes, and channel B the range from 5-10 and only on one scene.
When I set the modifier to these ranges and select the first range 0-10, when I switch to channel B this range remains, when I change to the range 5-10 on channel B this value also remains on all other scenes.
It seems that in one block, even with 4 channels, you can only set one modifier value and assign it to a particular channel or all checked , but you cannot set two or 4 values (so that they will work on individual channels)
I thought that the whole idea with channels is that you can select 4 different values, ranges and change the channels that are assigned to individual scenes, select these ranges...
Did I miss something?
The only solution would be to assign a new VOL block where I set one modifier to the range 0-10 and the other to 5-10. I have no more places for the grid so the whole idea was to use only one VOL block and use channels.
Do you have any ideas?
 
That's the way it works yes. But you can use one volume block and use two different channels of that one. Should work, or else two vol blocks in parallel and activate either one or the other per scene
Edit : or have the vol block active for some scenes and use the Amp volume or Cab volume for the others. Then on the out block you have a page with levels per scene.

I’m not at home now. I can show it later
I’m not sure if I can use 2 vol blocks in parallel. That means when one or another one is activated signal will go through by another not activated block anyway . Is that correct ?

I’ve tried. And it doesn’t work this way. It’s exactly like I described , one modifier for all channels,

Yeah that’s how it works with 1 modifier affecting all 4 channels. Sometimes it’s not a good thing. You’ll need to use another volume block for your 8th scene I believe.
 
Take a screen shot of your FM3 Edit window and post it.

Just to confirm, when you say "set volume 0-10" do you mean in the volume block?

Do you have Scene Ignore turned on?

When you aresetting up the modifier, ie configuring the expression pedal, (I believe] in the top right corner you can set the channel that the modifier works on. Usually this is set to All Channels. See if you can set the modifier to different channels on different Scenes?
 
I’ve tried like that . It doesn’t work this way.
I can choose all channels or just one when I would like to use it. It works like on / off option , it’s not giving me possibility to assign different value for different channel.
I can use only one value for modifier and use on all channels or particular one

No, it’s in modifier window . When modifier is assign you can’t change value, modifier is doing this, and in modiefier window I’m setting up range 0-10 (7scenes ) and 5-10 (1scene) but it doesn’t work this way
 
Modifiers are global to the block. They can be set active in either one channel or all channels, but the settings themselves are always shared across all channels.

One workaround could be to use separate modifiers on both the Volume and Level parameters of the volume block. On the Volume modifier, set your 0 to 10 range, set the modifier to be active in channel A only, and select channel A in that block for the 7 scenes. On the Level modifier set your required range of level reduction using the MIN and MAX parameters (maybe -6dB MIN and 0dB MAX or whatever), set that modifier to be active only in Channel B, and then select Channel B in that block for the 8th scene.
