Unless I've missed something in reading the manual, it seems as if you have to go into each patch, select the Expression pedal, then go one more step to select it as on for the patch before continuing your editing. I think it would be far better if there was a global page where the user could select the pedal to be on either per patch, or globally, so you wouldn't have to do that step for each and every patch, which is a time consuming and seemingly unnecessary step for those of us who would like to use an expression pedal a lot.
