TIP MODE / RING MODE
What Is "TRS?"
A typical momentary Foot Switch will connect to an instrument such as the SK PRO by means of a plug
similar to the one shown below.
TRS is an acronym for Tip-Ring-Sleeve, and refers to the fact that a connecting plug can have more than
one connector. This means that more than one Foot Switch can be connected to the SK instrument,
thereby allowing you to control more than one function using the same Foot Switch jack. If you wish to
do this, you will need a Stereo Adapter which has a Stereo plug and two (2) Mono jacks.
NOTE: This type of adapter is also called a "splitter."
Insert the Stereo plug into the FOOT SW jack on the SK instrument and connect a Foot Switch to each of
the Mono input jacks. In most cases, the Left (L) input jack will access the Tip function while the Right
(R) will access the Ring function.
NOTE: You can also use a TRS cable to connect a dual-momentary switch to one of the FOOT SW jacks. If
you do this, one of the switches will be assigned to Tip mode and the other to Ring mode. However, if you use
a dual-switch which allows you to select either Latching or Momentary operation, be sure to select Momentary
to use the switch with the SK PRO.
NOTE: The plug-in receptacles on some commercially available adaptors may be marked TIP and RING for
easier identification. Follow these markings when setting up your Foot Switches.
NOTE: If you connect a Foot Switch while the power to the instrument is "OFF," the polarity of the connected
Foot Switch(es) is/are automatically detected when the power to the instrument is turned "ON." However, if you
have connected Foot Switches or a Damper Pedal while the instrument is "ON" and it is not working correctly,
you can calibrate them by following the procedures described on pages 12 and 21.
