The pot resistance makes no difference.This keyboard is in outstanding condition. It sweeps through the entire range of values after I ran the pedal calibration function which showed min value of 0 and max of 255 and left no perceptible dead range.Īny expression pedal with the wiper wired to the tip portion of the TRS connector should work including those made by Roland. The pedal works great but only with the adapter. Brought an FC-7 pedal and a polarity (i.e. I got to try out a Hydrasynth last night.

If you need help with this feel free to PM me. I recommend trying to reverse the tip and ring contacts.
I also found no specifics regarding pedal interface specs. I've seen this with other boards but they don't call it "reverse polarity". internally swapping the tip ring contacts) but rather reversing the converted digital values associated with the presented voltage. It sounds like the Hydrasynth isn't actually reversing the polarity ( i.e. I know I have a Boss expression pedal somewhere, but I can't find it. Looking at that pedals spreadsheet, maybe it's a potentiometer thing. I just tried that, and the effect is the same, just reversed as expected. Knob 6 Exp pedal +, - Set polarity of expression pedal You mentioned recalibrating but did you also try reversing the polarity? From page 86 of the user manual: My Korg EXP-2 works OK with it (after calibration in the keyboard's system setup), but it hits the max value way too soon - perhaps less than halfway, which isn't ideal for me. Anyway, just thought I'd share for general FYI. I might try adding some more rubber pads to the bottom of it to see if that helps. Really can't complain, but if I were to complain, it does slide around a bit on a floor. I open it up once a year to clean it out. Still using the original orange cable that came with it, too. But as it is still working perfectly 30 years later, it's definitely a "you-get-what-you-pay-for" scenario. Fairly certain I did not pay its current price of $109 for it back then.

I bought this pedal either in 1990 or 1991, gigged it with for years and years, plus home use, and it still works great. Naturally it works much better on all of my Korg synths. I was thinking about getting a new expression pedal specifically for my Hydrasynth. Where is that foot pedal database document located?

I'm using one for a mod pedal for a Kurzweil PC4 and the other as an expression pedal for a PC3le. They work very smoothly, I don't gig - home use only, and I don't abuse stuff, Other than the pot issue, they seem like they'll hold up fine. Got the two pedals for about $50 total with a couple dollar rewards points I had to use up. Took about an hour to modify both of them. The feel and amount of throw are both good for me.

They both read through the full range now. I loosened up the nut, cut off a protruding tab on the pot, re-positioned the pot,Īnd tightened it back down in the new position.
The one on the pedal is positioned in place by a tab in the wrong position. One adjuster and one that's controlled by the pedal. I knew that going into it and figured I could fix it. I got one new one, and one that was returned in excellent condition, and they both would only go down to about 30 (out of 127). Not so for anything pitch related - it sounds wacked out.
If you're using them for filter/volume/expression and stuff they'd probably be fine as-is. Got 6 of them from Sweetwater for $25 apiece & been happy ever since. So.anybody have any comments on the EP-3 in general, or using it with Kurzweil gear?įor expression pedals I'm quit using kurz pedals cause they fail so easily & switched to On Stage KEP100 expression pedals. The Kurzweil CC1 pedal is a possibility too but I’ve not seen one really positive review. I would like to have a full-range of values with a smooth curve, especially since the throw looks like it’s shorter than the FC7. Anyone who’s used one, what have you liked/disliked? And does anyone know if it would work correctly with the PC3? Polarity-wise it’s switchable so I’m not worried about that, but there’s been a lot of discussion about different pot resistance values and the like with the PC3. The Moog EP-3 looks like it would be a decent pedal, but I’m not seeing a lot of reviews from keyboardists in general. I read all the threads on different resistance values per pedal model and the like already. My FC7, as noted many times on this forum, doesn’t necessarily work the best with this board. I’m searching for a good not-super-expensive expression pedal to use with my Kurzweil PC3.
