Foot Pedal Function
The foot pedal jack on Vintage Keys’s rear panel can be programmed to
perform a variety of functions. The foot pedal input can sense either 0-5
volts on the ring of a stereo jack or a foot pedal with the potentiometer
wired as shown at left.
The following functions can be controlled via the foot pedal jack.
•
Foot Controller
In this mode the Foot Pedal is routed to the
“Pedal” PatchCord source in the Preset Edit, Cords
menu.
(See pages 159 and 166.)
It is also transmitted
out on MIDI Continuous Controller #4 on the basic
MIDI channel.
•
Channel Volume
The Foot Pedal controls the volume of the current
channel. (The MIDI channel currently showing in
the main screen.) Channel volume is pre-effect—
reverb or echoes will continue to sound even when
the pedal is off.
•
Master Volume
The Foot Pedal controls the overall volume of the
Vintage Keys. This duplicates the function of the
Master Volume knob on the front panel. Master vol-
ume is post-effect—effects will be cut off when the
pedal is off.
Trigger Buttons
Function
This option selects the function of the front panel “Triggers” button. The
“Triggers” button can be used either to

•
Play Beats Parts
In this mode and when the Triggers button is
selected, the sixteen command buttons turn Beats
parts on and off.
•
Play Note Events
In this mode and when the Triggers button is
selected, the sixteen command buttons work like
keyboard notes. Each button can be assigned to any
MIDI note, on any MIDI Channel (01-16), with any
velocity (0-127), and can be set to be latched or
momentarily on.
