FOOTSWITCHES AND PEDALS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOOTSWITCHES AND PEDALS
On the rear panel are two jacks for footswitches. These inputs are
designed to be used with switches with a MOMENTARY CLOSED
configuration such as those available from Oberheim.
START FOOTSWITCH
When in sequence mode (display reads "SELECT SEQUENCE 00")
pressing the START footswitch will play the sequence from the
beginning. Pressing the footswitch will stop it. Pressing
it again will restart the sequence from the beginning.
When in song mode (display reads "SELECT SONG 00") the switch
works a bit differently. From STOP, pressing the footswitch
starts the song from the beginning. Pressing it again will
stop it. If the footswitch is pressed once more, the song
will continue from where it stopped.
NEXT FOOTSWITCH
When in sequence mode (display reads "SELECT SEQUENCE 00")
pressing the NEXT footswitch advances the DMX to the next
sequence. When playing a sequence, the DMX will wait until
the sequence currently being played is finished before
starting the next sequence.
When in song mode (display reads "SELECT SONG 00") the switch
works a bit differently. From STOP, pressing the footswitch
advances the DMX to the next song. While playing a song, if
the NEXT footswitch is held down at the end of a sequence,
the DMX will "vamp", that is, repeat the current sequence,
and NOT advance to the next sequence in the song. Releasing
the switch will allow the song to continue.
PEDALS
Foot pedals may be used to control the pitch of individual voices by
connecting them to the CV IN Molex connector on the rear panel. Use
a pedal of 50K Ohms with an audio taper potentiometer for full range.
The Oberheim P-OBX pedal will work but since it uses a potentiometer
with a linear taper, you will find that most of the control range is
at one end of the pedal.
The pin connections on the Molex connectors are detailed in the rear
panel diagram.
