MIDI Expression {CC#11} is a controller of volume level, that’s normal operation. It’s unclear from your post (at least to me) whether you want to prevent volume control of an internal Voice in the XS, or that of an Omnisphere patch. If in the XS, what mode is it in? If it’s Omnisphere control you’re concerned with, directing what CC#11 does there would be determined by a setting within Omnisphere, having nothing to do with the XS. |

I have this same issue on the Motif ES7 into Mainstage 3.

You cannot assign multiple CCs to any controller on the the Motif (pedals, wheels, ribbons, knobs). There is no way for it to send CC#7 and #11 simultaneously from a single controller. Does the MIDI monitor in Mainstage show incoming CC#7 from your ES as well as CC#11? |

The midi monitor reports only CC11 from the Yamaha and only CC7 from the Alesis. |

So the ES is working exactly as expected. You wrote that using CC11 from the Alesis makes Mainstage act differently but it should behave exactly the same as using the ES. Mainstage is seeing only CC11 in both cases. You have some sort of cockpit error here but I’m afraid I can’t help you any further. |

CC#7 controls MIDI Channel Volume, 0~127. CC#11 also controls Volume, but at CC#11’s maximum value Volume is limited to that set by CC#7/Volume. Therefore, if CC#7/Volume is at maximum (127), then the range of CC#11 can control the full possible Volume range, 0~127.
Depending on features of the software, CC#11 can be mapped to control other than Volume. I don’t use MainStage, but you might find this article helpful in configuring what CC#11 does:

So ultimately the “expression” pedal on the Alesis is not properly outputting CC11 (Expression) but CC7 (track volume). While it accomplishes the volume control I’m after Alesis seems to have taken liberties in the way they do it. Odd that remapping to conform with CC11 won’t work. Whadda ya want for $200.00? |
