yep, that's the one I use, acc off. was using it for bass off but found the bass lines pretty good mostly, so when i do want to pump my own bass, just turn off acc w/button or balance knob, maybe use the bass/ride sound for a little more swing to it.
good suggestions re finding alternate pathways. the HOLD button is something I'm finding very useful as i learn the ropes, and your additonal suggestions are giving me ideas. here's how I'm alternate-pathing the foot control:
i use the expression pedal as a stop/start by jerking it
all the way up. I leave the rh lead at 3/4 volume so I can
still play notes w/pedal up. I can use it for fade-out, too, but finding it very tricky for that and even for expression
because it requires perfect programming plus extremely sensitive action with foot. hoping this is a fine skill i can
develop..so far i haven't got the hang of very slow even
uptake on the pedal, and stopping the uptake at just the right point. but, hey, it's better than just having a switch
pedal set to start/stop and only that. also finding just
fading with the left hand on volume knob is better than
having to move to fade-out on the d-beam menu.
