Hi AJ and all,

I just bought the BOSS EV-5 experssion pedal to use as a volume pedal on my X1. I hook it up to the volume pedal input in the back. It works fine when the SWELL option is not checked in ARRANGE MODE. But I need this volume pedal to only control my RHS volume and keep the LHS volume constant. To do so, the SWELL has to be checked in ARRANGE MODE (according to the manual).

Here is the problem. The volume does go up and down only when your not playing a key. By that I mean, if I play a string sound, it will play at the volume level that the pedal is on. I remove my hand from the keys, and change the pedal position, then play again, it plays on the new volume level...so far so good....now I play strings and keep my hand on the keys and try to change volume it does not change. SO it only changes volume if the keys are not pressed.

My question is, is this because this is not a Ketron volume pedal? My friend has the same exact pedal and he says it works perfect with the VEGA.

Is this a:
-Compatability issue
-an X1 issue
-BOSS pedal issue
-Does the Ketron volume pedal function better?

Thanks
