I solved this problem 20 years ago by attaching the hook side of Velcro to the bottom of the foot pedal. It adheres to all carpet. If I was performing on a tile floor, I carried a 2' X 4' piece of carpet with me, placed it beneath the keyboard stand legs, which held it firmly in place, then placed the pedals on the carpet.

Hope this helps,

Everyone, don't you find it odd that the manufacturers haven't come out with some sort of solution? The Roland pedal is the best, with its "fly-out" heel pad. The FC7 pedal from Yamaha weighs in at a little over a metric ton :) and stays pretty still. The square foot switch weighs about the same as a grasshopper and moves when a fly sneezes next to it. There must be some sort of material they could use on the bottom of these various floor devices!

I've attached my square pedals (used for Reg Sequences more than anything else) with a liquid plywood adhesive.  Without this, they do indeed slip around at ease, and the adhesive is very strong.

Imfully agree with you...
As if they don't care or even realize this is a huge frustration..

And Roland, who had a solution, stepped away from it..
They no longer making pedals with the flap out.
