Reggie,
>Ok, what happens if you don't, just wondering, not being picky!
If you plug a Yamaha pedal into a Roland (or vice versa) the pedal will act
very oddly: 70-80% of the pedal travel will do nothing, and the last
20-30% will provide all of the changes. I think it's the top 20-30% on the
Yama --> Rol way, and the bottom 20-30% in the other case; I might have it
backwards. At any rate, if the pedal doesn't seem to work, or works
strangely, it's probably a polarity issue.

There are two types of aftertouch -- per key, also called "note"
aftertouch, and per keyboard, also called "channel" aftertouch or "channel
pressure". The per-key method is difficult (expensive) to implement, so
most keyboards only use channel aftertouch. The AN1x only transmits the
channel method.
