Tim Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Is there a way to connect an expression pedal to the PX5S without doing so via in-line to the amplifier? Edited February 8, 2018 by Tim mis spelled word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, only if you use an external pedal-controlled MIDI volume or expression control signal that can send signal to 4 MIDI channels, going to the PX's MIDI input. Otherwise, the answer is "no." It's one of the PX-5S's few, but frustrating, weaknesses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 THX...That's what I thought. I know the B3 patches aren't too bad but playing without any real time expression makes them less usable for me. The guy at Kraft music says "oh sure" there's two pedal inputs. He didn't bother to check that neither can be used for a volume. I'd have been pissed if I'd have bought it based on his answer. Still seems like a pretty awesome board. If the price ever comes back down to $799 again I'll surely pick one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that they are based on a switch type pedal that triggers a volume swell or dip rather than a continuous control. As for your original question, of course an analog volume pedal can be inserted between the PX and amp, just keep in mind that a setup like that will control volume for everything, not just one layer of sounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
