In general, it shouldn't be a big deal to assign a volume pedal to a MIDI fader/volume in your software instrument. In Kontakt, this is the default on nearly every instrument programmed for it and is the default for creating new patches. Often, I'll reassign 
CC#1, mod wheel, to volume.

There's really no way to use a volume pedal with software? I'm not very MIDI knowledgeable, but I thought you could assign MIDI channels between a host and a MIDI keyboard.

Another option of a digital standalone is the Manikin Memotron. While not having the keyboard feel of a 4000D, there is the benefit of being able to load it with Streetly Mellotron samples, which, as far as I know, are the same high quality samples that are available for the M-Tron Pro.
