A company called Midi Solutions makes a module called the Footswitch Controller. It can be programmed to send a MIDI message on initial press of the footswitch, and a different one upon release. On another thread I posted about wanting "Bass Inversion" to be a MOMENTARY function, for those songs having one odd slash chord. (I didn't want to press a pedal once to turn it on, and again to turn it off in the middle of a song.) I got their Footswitch controller and was able to make it work just like I wanted. I'll bet you can do the same with your harmonizer volume. Just a thought.

sparky589 Senior Member Registered: 11/12/11 Posts: 1461 Loc: NJ	Don- is there a metronome function, and can it be routed to the assignable line out (to a monitor)? _________________________ The older I get, the better I was..

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	So Don was the SD7 a trial second run and the Pa1000 a possible steady backup in case the SD7 doesn't fit the bill?... what am I missing here

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	I have done a lot of work on the SD7, and used it for three weekends. It sounds fantastic, the screen is great, most all bugs worked out now... Still, I'm not sure if it's for me at this point. I may opt to use the Korg again. I have done SO much work on it, Songbook, edited styles, tweaked and saved sounds... The Ketron will do all of this too, but I don't think I want to devote all that time again. We'll see. . . _________________________ DonM

There has been a delay from Italy in getting my new SD90 ready to ship to me - I really loaded it up and increased the SSD size. So, I have been left with my Yamaha S975 for gigs since you got my SD7. I have spent hours each day working with it but it is paying off and now I don't want to get rid of it. Keep after it - the SD7 WILL be worth your effort. My SD90 should ship this coming week and I will post my review when appropriate. Deane
