We moved your post here as you don’t own an MX49/MX61 The question is vague… Although I think I know exactly what you mean, what you want to do. But we will help you understand more about how it works. You have several assignable physical controllers: Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel, Assignable Knobs 1/2, Assignable Function 1/2, Foot Controllers 1/2, Foot Switch, etc. These can be routed to any if 101 parameter Destinations (so looking in the Manual for your specific requirement is there but just not in so many words. First, there are several parameters within the ROTARY SPEAKER Type (we’re pretty certain that is what you are referring to when you say “rotary") but you don’t mention which of the assignable parameters of the Rotary Speaker you wish to control. If you are like the hundreds of people who have asked a similar question over the years, you would like to control the “Speed Control” parameter. You can view all of the available parameters of the Rotary Speaker Effect Type by looking it up on page 82 of the DATA LIST book. The parameters that are real time controllable will appear when go to make the controller assignment (CONTROL SET) within each Voice.
So to your question: you don’t so much assign an FC7 to trigger the rotary.
Call up the Voice you wish to EDIT
In most of the Hammond B3 organ sounds, the MW is set as the SOURCE, and “Speed Control” is set as the DESTINATION. This allows the Speed Control to be switched from SLOW to FAST (or FAST to SLOW) when the Mod Wheel is flipped up.
You have two choices:
Basically either reprogram each Voice to your preference (storing a new version) or change the FOOT CONTROLLER 1 so that is sends Control Change message 001 (which turns your FC1 into a MW).
From VOICE mode go to [UTILITY]
Most people prefer the MW for a couple of reasons:
Last piece of education about the Rotary Speed control (many people miss) the SPEED CONTROL is different from the Speed. When you flip the switch on a Leslie control you select either Slow or Fast… When the Rotary Speaker’s SPEED CONTROL is assigned to a controller all values below a specific point are SLOW, and all values above a specific point select FAST. It’s a switch either/or. Once you pass a certain point the speed begins changing (called “transition")
The actual speed that qualifies as SLOW is programmed in the Insertion Effect itself
Learn more about the Rotary Speaker Effect Hope that helps. |

Another pedal question.
What I like to do (If possible) is set my Pedal to lets say CC4 (FootCtrl)
Then program the sounds I want to have Volume to use the pedal for volume.

I do not want to deactivate the Mod Wheel for triggering Leslie - I wish to add that ability Also to the Pedal. To be able to trigger Leslie Rotary effect from the pedal when I desire along with the ability to still be able to do it from the Mod wheel when convenient. To be able to trigger Leslie effect from either Pedal OR Mod wheel.
I realize that those instructions I posted are for the Mx61 but I posted them to see if that helps you understand and be able to help me duplicate that same exact job on the MOXF6

Here is how to edit the voice controllers Hit [EDIT] then [CTL SET] there you can select 3 sets of 2 assignments with [SF1]-[SF3]
you mite have to remove another assignment if the voice is using all of em.
Hope it helps |

What you did was option number 1.
You have two choices:
Only you want to have both controllers active… Simply use a second Control Set to also program the FC to Speed Control
Press [EDIT]
MW as Source, the Speed Control as Destination in CTRL SET 1
BTW- a DEPTH of +32 maybe a more appropriate than +63
[STORE] the Voice to a USER location. You already know how to set FC1 = 04[FootControl] in UTILITY. |

You remove the volume by doing this....
1. Press the [Utility] button.
Now You have changed the 11 [Express) to 04[FootCtrl) on FC1
11 [Express) = CC11 Expression. Controls the volume via an pedal.
Be aware that NO Voice will have any Volume control via the pedal after this. |

Quoting this so perhaps BM can notice and respond? I too would be curious to see if this is indeed possible. |

I don`t think it,s possible directly! Hence the no answers?:)
My thought on an workaround was if it was possible to use an FX.
I have not dived into the FX yet so I don`t know if any FX has these parameters?
I guess my end question is.....:)

So that sounds like the setting will be a global change correct?

I’m sorry, I guess I’m not being clear.
If you opt to make your Foot Controller = cc004 (FC2), then this is a global setting. I mentioned that.
You’ve select the programmable Foot Controller, so you have selected to program. For each Voice you wish to control the volume (since you no longer have the Expression pedal option) you must select as a Destination “volume” - it is one of those 101 parameter Destinations mentioned above.
Learning “bias” a parameter to a controller is not difficult. You set the Voice Volume = 0
ALTERNATIVES:

Now I get it! I missed your comment about the Volume being one of the destinations. Thanks for keeping up with at least MINE stupid questions:) |

I have the MOXF6 and i noticed that there is a jack on the back of the keyboard next to the sustain pedal jack that says Assignable ?
