Thanks Fred. It hadn't occurred to me that there would be different types of foot pedal for different functions. I suppose that's logical really. If you wanted a 'Piano Sustain' then you would want to put your foot hard down on it; if to Change Registrations you would want to kick to the left; if it was to have an 'Expression Pedal' (ie. Volume .. as JonD has) you would rock both 'down' and 'up' to facilitate the expression ... and so on.
On my AR Organ what I have is an 'Expression Pedal' (part of the organ) which is hinged under the heel for up and down movement; and it has a kick switch to the left for eg. Glide (amongst other things .. eg. Start/Stop the Rhythm); and to the right for Changing Registrations. The Piano Sustain is accomplished by a Knee Lever which drops down from underneath the Lower Manual, and you have to push that to the right with your knee to get the Sustain. Can't be doing with that after playing a real piano with a down/up sustain pedal for many years!
