That'd be a deal breaker for me, if I was using it only ion the studio. Disappointing. Maybe an oversight?
I'm setting this reply in it's own post, as I think it's a huge issue for potential users.


Dave you can as I am doing now HOLD DOWN the pedal
for V harmony ON....& release for V harmony OFF with the
FS-5U........interesting to see what the FS-5L does with it......
to be continued,.. or maybe KORG needs to update this in next
OS Update??.. where do you email KORG for UPDATED suggestions?

Hey guys. There is a setting for harmony on off but it's called harmony double It does not latch with standard petal and if you try it you better make sure to hit the petal again before you unplug it or it will not turn on or off with the manual button. just found out also there is a setting for lead voice on or off. again hit petal and make sure mic mute is working before unplugging. I am guessing this holds true for all foot petals settings.

Yes the manual says you must use an expression pedal to get the Harmony/Double volume to work correctly. Still if the momentary pedal does it as long as you hold it down, that's the way I'd use it! I hate having to press to turn vh on and press again to turn it off.
It's much easier for it to engage only when you are holding it down. Most harmonizers used to have the option to do it either way.

Just for kicks I tried my KORG sustain pedal in the 'Assignable' pedal input jack which I have set for VH On/Off ... pressed once to turn on, had to press again to turn off ...

I too, assumed that this very basic feature would be brought over to the new line, but there is no selection to turn vocal harmony on off with a foot pedal. Oversight - maybe, but at this juncture - there does not exist an option.

Actually there is a solution. Just use an expression pedal and assign the vocal harmony to it, like the manual says.

an expression pedal is bulky, annoying and very awkward to
trigger & switch VH on & off thruout a song...it's just WRONG... mad

Common KORG you know you screwed up just fix it asap in next OS please!!
