Musical Keyboard foot pedal to Gas Pedal conversion?

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

I would assume that this pedal has a NO switch inside.. Its a sustain switch for a keyboard.. If open was sustain then the keyboard would be sustaining without the switch even plugged in.. That doesnt make any sense to me but.. I saw a set of analog pedals.. brake and gas at the local salvation Army for $5 and I didnt buy them!  had an 1/8" stereo plug on the end...easy hack...   I'm an idiot!  :banghead:

Every page with information about NO or NC related to sustain pedals I could find seemed to say that the Yamaha equipment used a NC switch.  It seems odd for sure, but that's what it said, and the fact that their is a "universal" foot switch available that you can select NO or NC sure makes it sound like some are NC.  I suppose that Yamaha could use the kind of Phono jack that opens a switch when you plug it in and essentially relocates that switch to the pedal. For a few bucks more I would buy the one in my amazon link above and know for sure that you could run it NO.

Well, looks like I jumped the gun.  I ordered it already.  For $12.95 I figured I'd chance it.  I'm sure I can make it work somehow.  We'll see once I get it.
