Title: FC7 Pedal Issue
Post by: BusterPrevite on December 29, 2019, 07:02:13 PM
I just received my PSR-SX900 and installed an FC4A Sustain pedal in FOOT PEDAL 1 jack and the FC7 pedal in FOOT PEDAL 2 jack. I then switched on the keyboard.  I then went into the Assignable Pedal menu and selected Foot Pedal 2 to control the volume on Parts 2 & 3.  However when I depress the foot pedal the volume gets lower and when I pull back on the pedal the volume gets louder.  It seems like the polarity on my pedal is reversed.  Has anyone else ever experienced this problem?  I had used the same volume pedal previously on a PSR-S670 which operated properly.

I had the same issue when I set mine up. I changed the polarity in the options menu and all of a sudden worked.
Not sure why, but worked.

OOPS!  Discovered the problem.  While in the Assignable Menu, I opened the Sub Menu, where the pedal polarities are listed.  I merely had to reverse the polarity in Pedal 2, and that did the trick!

Not on an FC7. That's a variable controller, not an on/off switch. It's polarity should be correct 'as is', IIRC. And I think it's possible to confuse the issue by plugging in a pedal while the keyboard is switched on. I'd always do this when the keyboard is turned off.

The problem has been solved. Very easy to change Polarity.
