Control Pedal Problems
The control pedal must be wired to a single stereo 1/4-inch plug as follows:
Wiper to Tip
Top end of resistance element to Ring
Bottom end of resistance element to Sleeve
These connections are shown schematically below:
Use the Right Impedance, Taper, and Range
For best results, use a Kurzweil CC-1 control pedal, available from your dealer. The CC-1
meets all of the requirements described above at an economical price. A control pedal
should have an impedance between 5,000 and 100,000 ohms. An impedance less than 5,000
may overload the reference voltage source in the SPS4 and interfere with operation of other
controls like the volume slider or control knob. An impedance more than 100,000 may result
in electrically noisy operation, which may cause your SPS4 to send MIDI controller messages
constantly.
The taper of the control should be linear for easy, predictable control. Pedals designed for
volume control typically have an exponential (or anti log) taper, which results in most of
their range being concentrated in the upper half of pedal’s path of travel.
Pedals may have a control range that is less than 100%. Make sure that when the pedal is
in the fully down position, it’s impedance is 0, and when it is in the fully up position, the
impedance is at its maximum rating.
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 settings of Setup parameters. If you want to be sure that all of the
factory defaults are in place, see Restoring Factory Defaults on page 12-7.
