Losendoskeys Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Hi I recently upgraded from SKX to SKX Pro - now my Vent does not respond to the CU1 switch. Its the same 11 pin connector in both but has something changed in the SKX Pro so that it now needs the 12v connection as in the XK3c?

I have both as well and I never use the vent as the internal sim is really pretty well done. I don't think you gain that much with the vent. It's just my opimion but it might be easier than setting up the pedal. I know it doesn't answer your question but it might help. 1 Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

octa Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 With SK Pro + Vent, I use Hammond's 11 pin Studio12 cable with tip and ring on TRS reversed. After finding the correct mode in Vent, it works flawlessly. Cable came with power cable attached, but isn't necessary so I snipped it off. Could be different for SKX Pro but I bet not. The internal sim is real good, but I still like the Vent a little more. When I get a chance to tweak internal sim some more, it may alleviate desire for Vent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaware Dave Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 There are similar issues with other manufacturers: Crumar products, different footswitches and rotary hand switches depending on the model. Why? Don't understand it from the consumer side but you're not alone. From the manufacturer's side it forces an additional purchase (revenue generator). 1 Quote 57 Hammond B3; 69 Hammond L100P; 68 Leslie 122; Kurzweil Forte7 & PC3; M-Audio Code 61; Voce V5+; Neo Vent; EV ELX112P; GSI Gemini & Burn Delaware Dave Exit93band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outkaster Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Right. I was wondering if it would all be universal at some point? Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

Interestingly AFAIR you had to disconnect the direct jack out connections for the Leslie output to work on the VASE based SK/X When I disconnected the jack out on the SKX Pro I got STOP and FAST with the switch but not SLOW which is the one setting I usually use!!! I don't need the CU1 switch but I'd like to know why it doesn't work!

Outkaster Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 You can't attach the CU1 pedal as the edge of the keyboard is beveled. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

rgcm Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I don't know about the SKX Pro and its menu structure, but the CU! switch works as expected on the SK1. Down in the menus you need to ensure that "Foot Swich - Device (G)" is set to "CU-1" rather than "Foot SW". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delaware Dave Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 If you followed the instructions and it doesn't work then your next step should be to contact Hammond directly. There may need to be a firmware upgrade to fix the issue.
