I like to have a third entry expression foot pedal. You can find in the market midi foot controller, they are not so many but they are. I wish to connect it thru the midi din entry , not the usb as I have the midi din out that already trigger an harmonizer. Then what should be the best setting for controlling knobs links to parts via midi cc with this midi foot controller. I don’t find so much information about that, they are more about montage as midi controller but not montage controlled by a midi controller. One of a useful case as exemple of that third pedal is to control the volume of an solo violin that I cannot do with either the pedal volume expression witch control the overall volume of the performance nor with a programmation of the second expression foot pedal witch is link to the super knob and already busy to control all parts, in that way I could control this violin independently from the coarse of super knob. Also I don’t want to use any switch during the play, at list less I use switch, more confortable I feel.

The only midi pedal I find is this one: Boss EV-1-WL. https://www.boss.info/fr/products/ev-1-wl/
plus you need an alim and an adaptator midi trs to midi din.

You can use any expression pedal as a 5-pin MIDI expression pedal. The cheapest such adapter I've seen is the DoReMIDI MPC-10 but there is also the MIDI Expression iO from Audiofront, and also MIDI Solutions has one. But I've never looked into their software (which I believe you would need if you're looking specifically to control what CC it is sending and/or over which channel), which may make some of these more suitable for you than others. There also used to be a really nice self-contained MIDI expression pedal with front panel function assignments, the Digitech MC2.

The Montage has THREE jacks for controllers: 2 foot controller jacks and also an assignable foot switch jack. See the owner guid diagram on page 21 for Montage, page 28 for Montage M.

I had forget the usb to device, you can plug an usb pedal and still have midi pin avalaible in the montage! 😊

So I ordered the boss Ev1L, lucky that it was discounted at the time. Now I try to understand the process for this pedal to control parameters in the montage. What I understand so far is.
— have to set the midi channel receiving thru zone master
— set the same midi cc for the pedal and the knob,
— then is the common process to assign parameters to the knobs.
If the choosen part is already used internally for addressing knobs, is this process will interfere on that links?

There are limitations in the ability to use the 5-pin and USB connections for MIDI simultaneously... I'm not sure what you're suggesting there would work.
