Question

I have a Yamaha FC7 foot pedal and am trying to use it as a whammy bar type controller.  Can I do this with anything in Mainstage?  I also have Line 6 Pod farm 2 - anything in there?
The foot pedal also seems to have an on/off switch that activates when it's depressed all the way.  How do I set that up in Mainstage?  Can I cycle between and effect and a volume pedal, for example?
Mainstage version is 2.1.3
Thanks for all help given.

You can use a keyboard or other controller (with jack like sustain) and then assign controller (normally 64) to what you want Mainstage to do.
This is unlikely to work if you plug an "Expression Pedal" such as an FC7 into a "Sustain Pedal" socket using MIDI CC64, which usually operates as a switch rather than a continuously variable value.
If I understood the OP's request correctly, the OP wanted to use the FC7 as a "Whammy Pedal", which does a PitchBend 'dive' effect (amongst other things)
