The blurb on the 850 says that you can interface Roland and Yamaha pedals with this module. Specifically which types (and models) of Roland and Yamaha pedals. I am particularly curious to find oot if passive pedals can be used. PLL, BFG

as far as I know, you can use any pedal that contains a pot. And you adjust the 850 according to the resistor range of the pot in your pedal. I'm using 2 MOTM850, one controlled from a Yamaha pedal and the other one from a Korg pedal. Works beautifully, flawlessly!! I just love the 850! Can do cool filter sweeps and lots of other great things with them...

From the MOTM-850 user guide: The MOTM-850 can interface to 2 basic types of pedals: resistive and voltage-out. Resistive pedals use a 3-conductor (stereo) plug, because 3 signals are needed: ground, voltage IN and voltage OUT. CV Out pedals use a 2-conductor plug (mono) and only needs ground and CV OUT. The pedals we will use as examples for 'resistive' types are the Roland EV-5 and the Yamaha FC7/FC9 series. They are probably others, but these two cover the kinds you are likely to use.

I use a Roland EV-5 passive pedal with the 850 and works great. The pedal interface module was originally designed by Stooge Larry, as I recall... --- In motm@yahoogroups.com, "John Loffink" <jloffink@a...> wrote: > > From the MOTM-850 user guide: > > The MOTM-850 can interface to 2 basic types of pedals: resistive and > voltage-out.
