The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Thanks again !
the volume or control pedal are different because they're not switches 
but potentiometers used either as a variable resistor or as a voltage 
divider. If the jack has 2 pole + ground (stereo jack), it is a classic 
voltage divider pot. If there is only the tip and the sleeve (mono jack) 
the pot is wired as a variable resistor (cursor + one end wired 
together) . I've never looked at this ....but i have to do.
Cheers
J.F.
