Thanks very much for the reply. What I'm wondering, though, is if a standard keyboard
sustain pedal/switch, if plugged into the Foot Ctrl 2 input, will give me simple high and
low voltage. I'm not able to find specs for these pedals, other than that they seem to have
a mono/unbalanced plug. I can see that this isn't what Foot Ctrl 2 is built for, but I
thought it might work anyway.... (I'm already using the Doepfer pedals in the other
inputs.)

Does anyone have one lying around that they could try out and report back

thanks again,
Ernst
