Subject: Re: [AN1x] Quick Q. regarding Pedal

Hi Ray,

Yes, they work exactly the same way. The only real difference is that no matter what MIDI CC# you choose for the Volume input, that's that one that the synth will obey as a volume message.

Yes, they are still readily available, and plug right into the AN1x. I got a Korg-labeled one with my BX-3, too. Actually, I have four of them -- one is about 15 years old; I bought the second and third ones in the late '90s; the fourth one came with my BX-3. I have a hard time telling #1 from #2 and #3. All of them work with any Yamaha or Korg gear. All of them work with any Roland or Fatar/Studiologic gear if you cross the tip and ring connections (requires an adapter or soldering changes).

Regards,
