Hello,
I just purchased a Montage8, and understand it is capable of interfacing with four pedals. From Big Mister's posts I see that two of them are Assignable FC7s, one is a dedicated sustain settable for Half-Damping-FC3A, and one is an assignable Foot Switch, but no part number is mentioned.
If I'm wanting the most versatile pedal set, allowing the most options for programmability and control, which four pedal model numbers would I purchase for the Montage8?
And are there any other electronic accessories I could purchase at the same time that I might want later (trying to have on hand whatever I might someday want to try)?
Thank you!

The FC5 is the recommended foot switch.
A complete list of accessories is on yamaha.com under Montage.

To me, the best "off-Broadway" accessory is the MD-BT01 or UD-BT01 (MIDI over bluetooth adapter) depending on the MIDI mode you want to use when using wireless MIDI. This opens the door for interfacing with tablets as MIDI over bluetooth is now part of Android since Marshmallow.
I'm torn which one to get (usually means get both) - but if getting two meant I would have to lose a tooth (first, loose a tooth - then lose), I'd go for the MD-BT01 since it will also work with keyboards without a USB-to-host port.
