I foolishly bought an EC-5 just now, it isn't compatible with Kronos.
Can anyone recommend a small midi footswitch to give me at least 3 switches please? One for Damper, one for program up and one for leslie on/off. Or... Can anyone tell me how to trigger leslie by aftertouch?
I have a Kronos 2-73. I also have a Behringer FCB1010 but that's massive! I need space to have my Line6 Helix under the keyboard stand as well.
Hope you can help, cheers.

It should be possible to use this pedal switch board with the Kronos, but a lead would need to be made up, to go between the 6-pin DIN connector on the rear of the EC-5 and the Kronos. The Kronos end would consist of three 1/4" jack plugs, wired appropriately, and labelled e.g. "A" "B" "C".

Toggling the Leslie effect by moving the joystick is sufficient for playing, and the movement to do this would be similar to that on the Leslie controls on the original organs.

Thanks VoIP,
If I could use all 3 Jack inputs for switching it would be great but only 2 of the inputs are switchable, the other one being for a volume type pedal. So I think midi is the only way to get more switches.
Unless someone can tell me how to assign the pedal input to switch type?

Thanks, Ronnfigg, that works a treat. Now cooking on all limbs! Cheers!

Glad to help. I used to use that, but I now have an 88LS and unfortunately it doesn't have aftertouch. It can be done with velocity also.

If you edit the Program, set the speed to Fast and then "Write" the Program it should always go to that condition when you select that Program.

I just made that work. When you are editing the program you need to go to the rotary speaker Tab and set the speed switch in the upper right hand side to whatever speed you want it on and then write the program. If you are changing the speed with the joystick/pitch bend lever and trying to save that it won't work. Most control surface stuff on the Kronos works that way. If you want to save some front panel settings you actually have to go into the tabs.

I am using the 'SOLEMAN MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER'. I has been very helpful with my live gigs.
It has four switches. You can program it to do anything you want.
I have one set with the settings:
1. Rotary (J+Y) 2. Wah (J-Y) 3. Program Down 4. Program Up

and another with Karma Scenes 1-4.
But you can program it to do anything it comes to your mind!

Check it out!

I think a midi footswitch (not a korg product) would be advisable.

Curious if the custom lead idea is workable.
