Re: Pedal confusion

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Sorry, but I have connected a momentary ft.-switch AND a Oberheim OBX-P pedal ( not switch ) at my Xpander here.

There are differences between "Pedal Inputs" #1 + #2,- both work like Levers 1 + 2 but Pedal #2 and Lever 2 are universal controllers while Pedal #1 and Lever 1 are existing independently and in each voice.

If I defeat midi for the pedal input 1 w/ the Oberheim pedal connected and route pedal 1 as modulation source to the filters cutoff frequency, this is modulated by the pedal continuously because it?s a pedal and not a open/close switch.

The Oberheim pedal acts like a lever in this case and because it?s "Pedal #1", also relatively to each voice.

A Lever is also only a pot and doesn?t behave like a on/off switch.

Seems, you guys have the wrong pedals, - that?s all.

Yes- but these will only provide on/off type of modulation, not a
smooth transition between a min and max value, like a pot would.
Perhaps you could smooth out the threshold between the on/off using
the Tracking Gens.
