Control Inputs
Sustain
Connect a momentary footswitch here. Its
polarity is detected on power-up, so any brand
of pedal can be used.
Expression
Connect a variable foot pedal here. Its polarity
and range can be adjusted in
Pages
(p. 84)], which makes it compatible
with a wide range of pedals.
This input can also be used as a modulation
source in the Mod matrix, so it can do far more
than control the volume!
