Here's a thought! Maybe Yamaha should add an extra foot jack and allow you to set one to sustain and use the other for things like pitchbend.. They do this on digital pianos, so why don't they add this to their arrangers so the player is able to keep both hands on the keyboard while bending notes.. I understand a regular footswitch won't work for this, but you can buy "piano style" sustain pedals for that... Just a thought...
