Lexicon LXP-15 Owner's Manual page 47

Each of the five rear-panel foot controller phone jacks can be connected to any
compatible analog footswitch or pedal. These correspond to Sources Foot 1
through Foot 5. Foot pedals and switches allow you to control parameters during
performance while keeping your hands free. You can also make your own
analog rotary or slider controls using the following wiring diagram as a guide.
Analog rotary and slider controls are good choices for controlling parameters
used to fine tune the overall effect.

Almost all of the controllers found on a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI instrument
can be used as Sources patched to control LXP-15 parameters in real-time. This
feature is called Dynamic MIDI
continuous controllers (Mod Wheel, Volume, Sustain Pedal, etc.). The rest
correspond to other specific MIDI messages (Velocity, After Touch, Note
Number, Pitch Bend and MIDI Clock). Although there are more than 70 MIDI
Sources recognized by the LXP-15, they can be grouped into six types of
controls: sliders, switches, pressure, note number, velocity and tempo.
Not all messages are transmitted by every MIDI instrument. The MIDI
Implementation Chart supplied with the MIDI instrument will detail which
particular messages it can transmit.
