OK all you knuckle-heads, listen up! 1) The BYPASS led is RED, and is lit when the lag is bypassed. 2) I don't want a bi-color LED because it adds $15 to the cost, 5 parts,and consumes power when not bypassed. I'm guessing 99.99% of the time the VC lag will be used. 3) In order to make this *simple*, the BYPASS jack doesn't need a "signal". All you do is short tip to ground. I bought these nice Dictaphone rubber footswitches for $1ea. Get some coax, put a plug on one end, the 2 switch contacts on the other, and I got remote lag off/on. So, when I'm playing the keyboard, a tap on the switch kicks the lag in and out. Think of damper pedal on a piano. FYI, this is how the GLIDE functions on a Minimoog. 4) The switch is for lazy Stooges who don't want to rig up a footswitch. I could label it IN/OUT, NORTH/SOUTH, PO-TAY-TO/TO-MAT-O, whatever. The point is, it also shorts the signal to ground. SO..if the switch is ON, the jack has no effect and vice-versa. 5) If you want to bypass with a signal (LFO, etc) then get a MOTM-700! This is *exactly* what the '700 was designed to do: select between "stuff" based on a control voltage. With the '700, you can also set the switch-over point, not being limited to just 0V.
