Connecting A Dual Switch Pedal - Kurzweil Forte Musician's Manual

Getting Started
The Forte supports a single switch pedal or half-damper pedal on each of the SW1, SW2 and
SW3 jacks.
If you are not using a Kurzweil switch pedal, make sure it's connected before you turn on
the Forte. This ensures that the pedal will work properly (it might function in reverse—off
when it's down and on when it's up—if you turn on your Forte before plugging in the pedal).
Similarly, don't press any of your switch pedals while powering up, as the Forte verifies each
pedal's orientation during power-up. If you're pressing a pedal, you might cause it to work in
reverse.

Connecting a Dual Switch Pedal

You can connect a dual switch pedal with a single stereo plug, such as the Kurzweil
KFP-2S, into the SW1 and SW2 jacks. You will need a Y adapter with a stereo 1/4-inch jack and
two mono 1/4-inch plugs. Plug the Y adapter into the SW1 and SW2 jacks, then connect the
dual switch pedal to the Y adapter. If the Sustain and Sostenuto functions are swapped, then
swap the two mono plugs.

NOTE : Do not to step on the switch pedals when powering up the Forte,
as the state of the pedal is detected as part of the power up sequence.
NOTE : It is not recommended to plug CC pedals into the SW inputs.
Due to the fl exible switch pedal support, CC pedals may not operate
as expected in these inputs.
