 Posted: Mon May 15, 2023 10:59 pm Post subject: Help me - KRONOS with Half Damper Pedal |
 |
|
I used M Gear's pedals, but they are broken, so I want to buy new ones. I currently have a Yamaha FC3A on my shopping list, will it work with the Kronos?
I tried to use the Roland DP-10 before, but the pedal did not work properly no matter how much I set it in Global Setting. So I hope users can give me an answer. |

| Best is to go with the Korg DS1H pedal, made for the Kronos. |

Thanks for your answer. Then, Are there any alternatives other than using the DS1H?

Your Kronos Custom looks so good. |

Hi there and thanks for the comment. 
Hopefully others here can confirm if there are other good alternatives. The problem is that each pedal that offers half-damper/half-pedalling has a specific resistance range between its wires, so even though some can work they might not give an optimal response on the Kronos as a sustain pedal if you play lots of acoustic piano sounds.
If you need, I can use my meter and give you the DS1H values, but then you would have to verify these with the seller or bring an ohmmeter/DMM while shopping.  |

I decide to buy DS1H that you recommened lol. On my way to buy it, I'll have to ask and try if the FC3A works well.
//By the way, How can you change the led color your kronos? |

Hi there,
About the color LEDs mod, to make a long story short I always thought those white LEDs were blinding as too strong, especially in a dark environment. Also, colored buttons can help - like coded categories of instruments, etc. To achieve that you need color acetates for camera lighting that you cut in small pieces and place on top of the LEDs.

| I think the Yamaha half-damper pedal will work with Korg if you re-wire it or use an adapter to swap the tip and ring of the connector. Better to get the Korg pedal. |
