Nordlead 3 Expression/ control pedal

Hi,

I'm looking for an expression/ control pedal to use on my NL3. I used to use a Yamaha FC-7, but the pedal no longer works.

The pedal was ok, but the curvature was way off linear, this means it would jump a lot of values closer to the bottom and require a long travel at the top.

Since I'm getting a new pedal, I'd like to get one with a more linear progression. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I use a Roland EV5 and some Korg pedals. Special the latest is worst in using it and controlling the range. It's hard to advise you.
I suggest to try several pedals in the shop and bring in the Lead.

At the other hand, I will direct you when I finished the editing to an article Martin Walker wrote about expression pedals. I hope I finish this tonight.
It give some inside information.

You can google it too using "Expression Pedals not generating the full range of MIDI Data"
