Have you tried all types of pedals? I would say obviously and oversight on KORG'S part as all previous models had this feature....... I will try a FS-5L as soon as it arrives,...until then I am stuck in the ("Hold Down, lift Off") the Pedal (unlatched) at this time

I also have a brand new cable... I purchased this unit by mistake thinking it to be the FC7.. If someone can use it, I will sell it for $50 plus shipping.. It seems like folks have altered this type of unit to meet their needs... Look at the link above.. _________________________ www.francarango.com

Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	Using an expression pedal is a very different skill set for this application. To accurately recreate the exact level of harmony would be challenging, to say the least. To say more, the time to throw the pedal from min to max takes more energy, and timing than a simple press of a switch. Korg my think that omitting an on/off feature was a good idea, but I can't imagine they did it on purpose. Every harmonizer I've ever had over the last 30+ years has had the option to tun on/off with a single switch. This expression option is a nice addition, but hardly a substitute. _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum. Please visit www.daveboydmusic.com for contact info

Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	Originally Posted By DonM Apparently it will still work as you wish if you use the correct foot switch. Maybe it's semantics, but there is no "correct" switch, as the option to turn on/off doesn't exist. The idea that a latching pedal can achieve a similar result in a category intended for expression is a workaround. The end result may be the same to your ears, but in truth, the action being performed is different. This is absolutely a devil's advocate discussion, and I kinda like it. To quote a famous philanderer: "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum. Please visit www.daveboydmusic.com for contact info

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	Dave have you plugged in a pedal and tried it? Just curious. If the momentary pedal works as it should, and according to DNJ it does, then perhaps the latching pedal will work as it should. I'm still thinking it's an improved design. Hope so anyway, for those who have them. _________________________ DonM
