If you have this parameter available see if that make a difference along with the adapter On mine it was a choice between normal and reverse. Just as I have a parameter in the system settings to have standard or reverse polarity for the Hold (sustain) jack, I have the same choices for the two Control pedal jacks. Interesting that the A800 doesn't provide that. Maybe it's due to the workstation nature of the FA. On the A800 you can 'reverse' a controller by programming the 'minimum value' to 127 and the 'maximum value' to 0. I'm pretty sure that is not the same as what the 'reverse polarity' setting on the FA-08 is, but maybe I'm wrong? I'm guessing the main application for reversing the data transmission values is to use the sliders as organ drawbars – you need the topmost position to be 'off.' I was able to reverse the expression pedal though – it works with all the controllers. Yea the A800 is a curious mix of features. Only three 'keyboard memories' with settings for split points & transpose value (no matter to me as I use Bidule for zoning & transposing). But it also has three sensitivity settings for the keyboard's velocity response, in addition to selectable velocity curves – it's what makes it the most 'playable' controller to me (in the price & weight range I need!). And speaking of price & weight – it's pretty light in both departments. And I fly with it all the time and so far it's holding up pretty well (just found some wood to knock on here!). My guess is when it comes to pedals, Roland just wants me to buy theirs. Almost double the price of the Yamaha and all plastic. I'm resigned to the Yamaha pedal never working well with the A800. I guess I'm not explaining myself clearly enough? I thought I was but let me try again. The A800 is a controller only, I'm sending note & controller data from it to my virtual instruments hosted in Bidule. That includes data generated from moving the FC7, which is connected to the A800's expression pedal jack through an adapter that switches the tip & ring. I'm okay with 0 to 127 (I've never heard any stairstepping), and for local gigs I use an M-Audio expression pedal that works great with the A800. When I go on the road I rely on what backline companies give me, which 90% of the time is the Yamaha FC7. The FC7 with the adapter (the purported subject of this thread LOL), does not interface properly with my A800 – the midi generated from moving the FC7 goes from 0 to 127 in the first 1/5 to 1/3 of the FC7's travel. It stays at 127 for the duration of the travel.

Maybe Stephen Hawking or the Amazing Randi can figure out a way to have an FC7 give me a smooth 0 to 127 over the full length of its travel while hooked up to my A800, but it seems like what you're talking about is something completely different.
