How can I get my continuous controller pedal to control volume on all patches instead of just some of them?

First, try hard resetting your Kurzweil (you will lose any custom setups you’ve created).

Setup 126 is called “Internal Voices”. When in Internal Voices mode, the PC2 looks to this setup for controller info.

By default, the Internal Voices setup has Pedal 1 (CC pedal) assigned to MIDI controller number 11, expression, which is essentially the same as volume. So, all of the internal voices should respond to CC pedal 1 as volume.

With Setups, you have to edit each one, zone by zone, to respond to CC-1 for expression. Some are already programmed to do this by default, but if your customer is listening to brass and strings as part of a setup, then he needs to edit the setup, and assign pedal 1 to MIDI controller 11, expression.

However, if he is listening to brass and strings from Internal Voices mode, then the CC pedal should be controlling expression (volume).

Think of any of the Internal Voices as a one-zone-setup, looking at setup 126 for “how to act”.

The PC2R (rack) looks to setup 125, PC2R Control” for”how to act”.
