Mf 102 moogerfooger not working with pxp 2 expression pedals

Hey all, fairly new to these moogerfooger and I just picked up 4 expression pedals to control with my feet while playing. Unfortunately, it seems maybe all the parameters aren't working with the pedals....:/

It's possible that if mix or amount are turned down, then turning the others does nothing anyway, cuz nothing in the mix, or amount too low. I may need to mess around a bit more. But any expertise in this area is appreciated.

Also, I tried to find the tech specs for the pxp2 pedals, but the info is scant there. There's a polarity switch on the bottom of them, the position does not seem to matter. Will call the companies tomorrow.

I guess also, I'll need to take the same pedal that I know works, plug it into individual params, and test that wway. Also, seems that for the params that make it do nothing when they're turned off (eg. Amount and mix) possibly start them at 1/4 (9:00) with pedal full back. Any advice appreciated!
 
Solved! The pedals all work, and the polarity switch seems to have no effect. What I learned was that the dials have to start set all the down with the foot pedals back and then I just needed to experiment a bit with how far a foot pedal press needs to go to modify the parameters and also more fundamentally which parameters will effect the sound based on the position of the others and type of signal.

I'm enjoying the thing very much and recommend it!
