I'm trying to figure out how to put the GR33 into the same mode it goes into when you push the S2 button on the GK3, which is the mode where you can use the hold/glide pedals.  Does anyone know how to do that, or what values the GK3/S2 button sends?  I figure I can program the Hold button on the FC-1 to trigger it.

Thoughts?

AFAIK - those GR-33 features requires a genuine GK 13 pin hardware interface, and can not be enabled via external MIDI commands, or the FC-1

But I could be wrong - consult the GR-33 documentation

Oh, no.. that was a part of my 'thing'.  I guess I could plug the GK3 in, and just use the controls.  It may cause some ghost notes, though.. damn.

There are better GR-33 "gurus" out there  -

might try the demo of MIDIQuest for GR-33
https://www.squest.com/Products/MidiQuest11/Instruments/RolandGR-33/

, and employ a "MIDI Sniffer" utility to see the MIDI sysex messages for hold/glide pedals.

I am trying to figure out what you are doing there?
So you have the Fishman Triple-Play system with the FC-1 foot controller, and are you using the GR-33 as a sound module via 5 pin midi ?
Right ?

As far as I am aware, the Hold/Glide functions of the GR-33 are hard wired internal, no midi involved. (but I too could be wrong).

As an alternate suggestion (if you have DIY skills), buy a single button foot switch, a blank 13 pin DIN plug and wire pin number 11 and the shield to the footswitch button.
That will give you a plug in foot pedal for the GR-33 to switch the S2 and the Hold/Glide function.
