operation, which may cause your KME61 to send MIDI Controller messages constantly.
The taper of the control should be linear for easy, predictable control. Pedals designed for
volume control will typically have most of their range concentrated in the upper half of travel.
To check taper, run the Control Pedal diagnostic and check the reading when the pedal is
pressed halfway down. If it's less than about 50, then it has an audio taper and will probably
be difficult to use.
Pedals may have a control range that is less than 0-127. To check this, run the Control Pedal
diagnostic and check the reading at both extremes of pedal motion. Good is a minimum
reading of 0 or 1 and a maximum of 126 or 127. If one end is OK but doesn't quite reach at the
other end, it may be possible to adjust the linkage or gear to properly center its range.

If None of the Above...

If your problem is not covered above, or none of the suggestions seems to work, first check
back and review the relevant sections of this manual. Many difficulties are just programming
problems caused by inappropriate settings of setup parameters. If you want to be sure that all
of the factory defaults are in place, refer to Hard System Reset in Chapter 6 Master Mode.
Also be sure to check out Kurzweil's Internet web site for additional KME61 information that
