rhorton Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I want to use my Ensoniq SD-1 to control my VK-8M Hammond module, and to use the left hand (sostenuto) pedal to switch Leslie effect fast/ slow speeds. Pressing the button on the unit or waving my hand over the D-Beam (which is disabled with red stage lighting, btw) isnt a suitable option in performance. Any suggestions?

rhorton Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 There is no control pedal jack on the VK-8M (one of the most bone-headed ommisions on an otherwise superior sound module). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immo Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I wondered that myself about that module, being interested in it myself (although can't afford anything right now). You can't hook a pedal to the ensoniq, and then select which midi channel it controls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K. Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 NO control pedal? I agree that's not too cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffLearman Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I can't help you with your synth, but the Ensoniq MR76 takes up to 4 pedals: two per 1/4" jack. For each pedal, I can set what MIDI control it's attached to (via the "System" button, and scrolling to "MIDI Settings" or something like that). Since the MR has it, the SD might. Good luck! I wish I had one of those dual pedal units (sustain & sostenudo). Instead I use another unattached pedal. But frankly, I'd like two dual-pedal units! I'd put one unit on each side of the my expression pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhorton Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 I cant find anywhere to assign a control change to the left pedal on the ensoniq (SW-5?). by the way, anyone have the full MIDI specification for an Ensoniq SD-1, or have any suggestions?
