FS-6 Footswitch and MPK-61

[Pauly 6 String]

Hi all. I am looking for advice and to see if this is even possible.

I have an MPK61 I'm using with MainStage. I have a sustain pedal in Footswitch 1 and an Expression pedal in Expression inputs. That leaves me with Footswitch 2 left.

I want to use an FS-6 to use as Prev/next patch. The Footswitch input only sees the Tip of the jack which is pedal B. Pedal A is not seen as it is using the Ring of a TRS cable.

Is there anything I can use to expand the number of Footswitch inputs?

Your only other option for expanding the number of footswitches available is to start hooking up MIDI pedalboards and assigning the CC#'s to whatever functions you'd like.

Something like the Behringer FCB1010

Otherwise you simply have to live with the hardware limitations of your board.

You know, this never crossed my mind. I have a midimate that would do the trick.

Thanks

I ended up getting this and it will do nicely in a smaller footprint.

Glad I could help. That MIDI Expression gadget looks like a pretty slick addon when space is tight.
