Don, I was actually beginnng to think that maybe you really 'did' have some sort secret trick up your sleeve to accomplish this feat. Oh well, back to the fixed on/off foot pedal method.

Come to think of it, it would be cool if there could be a foot pedal controler system devised similar to an expression pedal, in which you could control the 'amount' of pitch bend by how far you press the foot pedal down. Unfortunately the on/off type foot control pedal I currently use only allows you to produce a FIXED pitch bend amount (1/2 step, whole step, etc), which lacks the realisitic musical subtlties that variable pitch bending provides. - Scott

Hey Scott,
ever tried to use the pitch bend joystick with your left elbow? With a little practice, it works...

Some of the organs used to have a knee lever that you could use for pitch bend.
