controllers includes:

• 1 jack on the rear panel for an optional continuous controller pedal: CC (Volume)
Pedals (Optional)
As described above, the Artis has three jacks on the rear panel for optional pedal controllers.
Two jacks for switch pedals, which are typically used to control two-state (i.e., on / off)
parameters such as sustain, sostenuto, and mute Zone. The third jack is for a continuous
control (or CC) pedal typically used to control multi-state (i.e., "continuous") parameters
such as volume or wah.
