Sorry about the confusion, Fran. Your initial post lead me to believe you couldn't get the arranger to trigger at all.

I see where the problem is... there IS a solution (just not as elegant as the G1000, but I'm used to that!). You can use an FC-7 and assign arranger on/off to one pedal, and on the adjacent pedal program arranger 'hold'. This will work OK, but a more permanent solution would be to wire BOTH wires to the same switch, then one pedal would do the trick (but use up two FC-7 assignments).

VERY inelegant, but I think it would work (try with the two switches first!). But I apologize. Roland HAVE made this a whole lot harder than it used to be (and it isn't, of course, the first stupid thing Roland have done with the G70's MIDI), but I believe it CAN work, this way....
