RE double sustain from one pedal- I've also done this before also with mixed results using the Ext keyboard function of the Nord, and can be stored per patch.  Anderton's affable Jack showing how he does it on his live rig, where I first got the idea.    At around 8:57

 

 

Many thanks for the tip, I’ll try that for sure 👌

Another approach, discussed here in the past, is to put two sustain pedals right next to each other on a board, for the upper and lower keyboards, and then as long as the pedals are close enough to each other, you can choose to press just the right pedal, just the left pedal, or put your foot down in the middle when you want to press both pedals. It's easy to do, at least with the little flat square sustain pedals. (Those don't give you half-pedaling,  though.)
