Setting up
According to your MIDI keyboard or digital Piano, you can use single
or multi pedal types.
Plug the connector of your foot switch / sustain pedal to a socket of
your MIDI keyboard, sound expander or digital Piano labelled with
“Sustain”, “Hold”, “Foot Switch” or similar.
Please refer to the manual of your MIDI device or digital Piano, which
pedal type is supported: Contact open or closed at rest (or both types).
In the manual of the MIDI device you will also find remarks, if a stereo
jack found at some models (VFP double or triple sustain pedals) are
supported.
Operation
Press and hold down the foot switch / sustain pedal as long as you
would like to perform its function. If the operation is reversed than
expected, you might have to use another type of pedal (contact
open/closed at rest). Or switch the function of the VFP 1/25.
The PS 250 operates as latching pedal: Press the pedal to close the
contact. Now you can release the pedal and the contact remains
closed. Press the pedal again to open the contact. With each push of
the pedal, the contact state is alternating between closed/open.
