External footswitch for Ribbons

How to make a Yamaha FC5 Sustain Pedal work with the CV/EXP input:

I found a way to make the Yamaha FC5 trigger the TOUCH footswitch using a custom cable. See wiring below. This will work with any NORMALLY CLOSED sustain pedal like the FC5. It will NOT work with a NORMALLY OPEN sustain pedal.
