Hello Andra,

NO.... It's NOT a keyboard fault !
It looks like your footswitch is not compatible with Technics Keyboards. The only footswitch which will work correctly is one which is just a momentary connection as long as the switch is depressed... i.e. Contact made across the jack Plug when the footswitch is depressed and contact broken when it is released....... The Technics Brand footswitches are made this way and there are many others by different manufacturers which are also suitable.


It sounds like the one you have is a 'Latching' type and will not work with your keyboard or any Technics keyboard
