Volume pedals may be used to control MIDI key velocity and MIDI volume, overriding the top panel
faders. The pedal should be 20KOhm. High impedance guitar volume pedals will work, but not very
well. The volume pedal we recommend is made by in Italy by bespeco, and is available to European
customers as the VM16L and in the US as Quiklok VP16. This pedal is nice because it has the cable
built in; however, it is no longer readily available in the US. A slightly different pedal in stereo
configuration with the handy addition of a lowest-volume control pot is also available from bespeco as
the VM14L, and fortunately this pedal is available in the US from Zzounds as the Quiklok VP15. With
this pedal, you will need to get a cable which is 1/4'' Stereo plug to 2 1/4'' Mono plugs (a.k.a a
standard Send / Return Insert Cable), and we recommend the STP-200 from Hosa.
Having an internal synthesizer and amplifier, a TPX2s/4s/6 keyboard is a standalone performance
instrument. However, if sounds other than those of the internal synthesizer are needed, the internal
amplifier of TPX2s/4s/6 can be used with external sources by connecting External Source LINE OUT
to TPX2s/4s/6 LINE IN. To save space, TPX2s/4s/6 uses a Stereo (TRS) 1/4" jack for LINE IN, so
that a cable adapter may be needed to connect external sources having other types of output jacks.
Adapter cables are available from HOSA, shown below: a 1/4" Male Stereo to 2 Female Mono 1/4"
Cable, a 1/4" Male Stereo Phone to 2 RCA Female Cable, and a 1/4" Stereo to Stereo Mini Cable.
