   I have a similar problem. While I'd much rather use my feet to switch things   
   so I can keep both hands on the keys, it's not always possible, like when I   
   use my effect 'stomp' boxes. I have to put them on top of my digital piano   
   so I can change settings, which could never be done with the feet, so I also   
   have to turn them on and off by hand also.   
      
   And then there's the 'famous' "half moon" style switch on Hammond organs   
   which allows for switching the Leslies, which I'd much rather do with a foot   
   pedal.

   But since you play them one at a time, you effectively have an expression   
   pedal to control all of them - that's cool.

   Can it be replaced with something else that'll allow expression pedal   
   control of  the  keyboard?

   I try to rest as much as possible as I'm still sick, since Christmas. I'm   
   beginning to think I had, and still have, and am still getting over, a nasty   
   case of whooping cough (Pertussis) but it's going away...very slowly.
