Hi, I have just bought a Yamaha FC5 footswicth and I am trying to understanding how to use it for recording some sequences with synth patches. However it does not work at all… Furthermore, I am also noticing that the organelle does not work very well when I input this pedal, say the control knowb freezes and no patches can be selected anymore. What I should do? Is this a specific conflict of this pedal? if so, are there any other footswich pedals that works properly? Thanks, –marsch ---

Hi on another thread about cases a user had a boss FS-5U which is an unlatched pedal with a polarity switch, I’m guessing your pedal puts out the reverse polarity of what the organelle expects? Just a guess though I’m new here. ---

Hi, it should be so. Anyhow I gave back that pedal time ago, so I should see to check with a new one.
