Cc7 controller

[geky]

hello, I need help, some information, any idea. I use a Roland fr4 accordion with native kontakt instrument, with audio interface, via midi. everything works perfectly, only the roland fr4 can't control the master volume, it doesn't have the function, it doesn't send the message midi cc7. I ask you? is there any midi controller with the cc7 function, or can one be created? to mount it to the midi plug in the accordion, something with which I can control the master volume. I saw on YouTube that you can create a midi controller with cc functions. Do you know someone who could make me a cc7 controller? or maybe there is another option to control the master volume. I mention that I sing quite far from the audio interface, with a 6 m midi cable, so I don't have the possibility to control the volume whenever needed. I used a system midi wireless juzisound with which I could control the volume as much as possible, but it didn't have a potentiometer for volume control, it has touch contacts + - and it was quite complicated to control the volume and it has enough latency to bother you.

Is the FR-4 different from the FR-4X? Can only find info on the FR-4X

Reference Manual for the FR4-X says it can send CC-7.

Page 47 : Menu Options>Volume
"This parameter allows you to specify the
volume value (CC07) the register should
send to an external device whenever you
press it.
That way, the MIDI instrument you are
controlling is automatically set to the
desired level.
Remember that selecting “0” silences the
receiving MIDI instrument.
Select “Off” if the register should not
transmit this message."

it's about fr4x, I don't know there is simple fr4. yes, it sends a kind of cc7 message, in the following way: for example, you can set a certain volume on each register and
it transmits the volume to the master but it doesn't really help me. I need a potentiometer, a fader, a quick function to control the volume. I found something on the internet that I think would be useful to me, midi solutions pedal controller.

The MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller (plus a volume pedal, eg Boss/Roland EV-5) is indeed the most simple solution.

If you don't sit stationary but walk about, then a foot pedal is not optimal. But the little MidiSolutions box can work with any potmeter, so it's not the end.

yes, the midi solutions pedal controller seems to be what I need. I think I can mount a potentiometer to the yamaha fc7 pedal and attach the controller to the accordion mask.

Now you got me confused. You already have (and use) a Yamaha FC7 pedal? And you use that how?

[geky]

I have a yamaha fc7 but I use it with a korg pa4. it cannot be used with roland fr4x. I ordered midi solutions pedal controller and I will mount the yamaha fc7 potentiometer on the midi controller.
