Subject: Re: [AN1x] Sustain pedal

From: Jeff <jf.serviere@...>

Hello Robert !
on most Yamaha synths including AN1x the pedal switch must be ∗normally
closed∗ . Others are often normally open, of course, including
Sequential... Normally closed means : you open the contact when you push
the pedal, that's why your Sequential pedal is "inverted".
I have some very cheap "universal" pedals with both possibilities,
selectable by a slider under the pedal, sold for keyboards and/or guitar
amps . I'm sure that you will find their sisters in any music shop.
Don't search the Yamaha pedal, unless you want a piano pedal look and
feel : they are expensive and rather hard to find. Obviously universal
pedals will fit any of your keyboards, fine, is'nt ?
Cheers
J.F.
