      hi everybody 🙂

      I use 2 Roland EV-5 expression pedals as external controllers to modulate parameters on my Eventide. Those 2 pedals are connected via midi through a Ground Control Pro.

      The connections are:
      Pedal 1 is on ext 4 and modulate parameters of each preset
      Pedal 2 is on ext 5 and modulate out gain (on levels)

      What I experienced is that:

      ext 5 is not working on a couple of presets (can't understand why)
      ext 4 is working, but I see on the monitor that it goes al 100% only when pedal on ext. 5 is closed, while when it's open it goes at 14-15% of its course
      ext 5, on the other hand, is fully working only when pedal on ext 4 is open. except on some presets as mentioned above.

      Seriously I have no idea of what I'm doing wrong with it :S

      can anybody help please?

      thanks a lot 🙂

      What are the current MIDI-settings for those pedals on the Ground Control Pro? What controller numbers do they have and which MIDI channel(s) is used?

      mmm everything is set up on omni…

      so are you suggesting me to select separate midi channels for the ground control pro, and each pedal?

      It could be worth nothing, but I would try that… (if it can be done on the GCP).

      as you can see from the manual of the GCP

      http://www.voodoolab.com/manuals/ground_control_pro_manual.pdf

      i can't choose a midi channel for the expression pedals, i can only set the message type. and i did it correctly on both the eclipse and the GCP :S

      and still they're not completely independent :(((

      hi all 🙂

      it looks like, even if the pedals are brand new, they're worng connected, so i had to swap tip and ring.

      now looks like the 2 pedals are completely independent and fully working 🙂
