Exp-Pedals on Program-Change allways "On"

[muech011]

Hi.

 

I have setup my POD HD X Pro to be used without FBV Controller. I am used to my old MIDI Footboard and too old to learn new Assignments and limitation of 4 Programms on one bank are not enough for me. So there is good reason not using the FBV Controller.

 

It seems that if there is no FBV Controller (and with it no Expression-Pedal) present the POD assumes that initially the Expression Pedals are on position "On".

 

That's really an issue for me, because we are using a stage sequencer which sends a lot of PGMs to the POD. Each time the Programm Changes I will receive an undesireable "On" for the Exp-Pedals.

 

I have tried to send a "Value = 0" Midi Message to the POD with every PGM-Change, but there is still a noticable boost in the sounds when changing the programs.

 

So my questions are:

1. Is there any way to tell the POD that without FBV or EXPs connected the initial value for the EXPs is "OFF" (or 0)?

2. Is there any way to connect some kind of loopback-adapter to the FBV-Jack which simulates the EXPs are "OFF" or 0?

 

Thanks for your help.
