Who has managed of using two pedals? I did once after that I didn't work again! I think I'm doing it wrong.
I used a headphone splitter like a normal Y and sometimes both were recognized as damper pedals and sometimes one didn't work and sometimes none.
So, maybe some of you know how to work with them to explain how to to it.
Also as I am getting my Rotating stand on monday, I was wondering If it was possible to have 4 pedals .

It's probably because you're summing two mono signals (the two pedal 'outputs') into one stereo signal (the jack of the Y-spiltter), whilst the input of the keyboard is only expecting a mono signal.
If you strip the jacks off both of your pedals, then combine the wires into one jack, and plug that in, it -should- work.
Don't hold me to that, though - i'm just theorising. Perhaps one of the electronics experts of the boards could provide some input?

So you are telling me that I need to get and splitter that the stereo input (pedal) splits it into 2 separeta channles to make it (like left and right?)
And what I'm doing with the headphone thing is making 2 stereo sources out of one right?

No, what I mean is that both pedals would only send a mono signal, but because you're putting them into a stereo splitter, instead of keeping the signal as mono, it might me taking one input and making it the left channel (the ring of the jack), whilst the other signal goes as right (the tip of the jack - it might be the other way around), and one of them is probably going to be 'ignored' by your synth, because it's only expecting input from either the tip, or the ring, not both.
