Subject:midi volume

hey people: I have a question for you. my rig consists of 2
keyboards-an xk-2 on top with 2 rack mounts velcroed to it and a
yamaha s-80 on the bottom .I have been using an old "pocket pedal"
set to midi volume that is controlled by the s-80 thru a yamaha
ex.pedal to the rack mounts that has enabled me to "pull" in strings
horns etc.from my rack mount as needed to add to pianos etc on the
s-80.the problem is the pocket pedal has become unreliable thru
years of foot dust and club smoke etc. and some times will come on
all at once or not at all.I run my xk=2 thru a speakeasy vintage to
either a les-145 or a motion sound pro3t and low pro depending on
the size of the stage we are on and it controls the other rack mount
thru the hammond exp pedal no prob. does anyone use anything like
this or know a way to pull midi volume from a rack mount with a
volume pedal as they no longer make the "pocket pedal"? thanx for
any input. dave
