Greetings:
One thing nice is that you can map just about any CC function to the F7,
not just volume so it has a lot more versatility than a "volume" pedal
-- expression pedal is more like it..
I have a pile of them and use them with DX7's, EX5, A5K, AN1X and even
patch them into FX700/900 Effects processors and MFC MIDI Stomp boxes.
Very usefull. As for other keyboards, etc, just buy another Yamaha.
Simple. I don't know how compatible the FC7 is with other manufacturers.
As a good safe alternative, get a FC9. I have one of those too. It is
a passive / Active pedel. It looks like an FC7 and can be an FC7 and an
active volume control, even both at the same time if you want.
Generally, it is a general purpose unit that should work with just about
anything you may want.
Just a thought;
