Having once owned and sold on an EC5 I now would like a simple PS1 foot switch just to control KB sets. I have bought a 6 pin Din plug and have looked at the wiring schematic for the plug.

I can see what numbers the pins are but I need to know which one is the 'common'. Looking at some old pa2x posts I think it's PIN number 3 but can anyone confirm this please?
Thanks
Bob

Thanks but that info relates to a 5 pin din and the EC5 is 6 pin, however, Iv'e
bought the new plug, I just need confirmation of the common ground Pin number (PIN numbers 1-6 as described in the Korg EC5 post).
Thanks anyway
Bob

Thanks very much, the German thread seems to confirm that number 3 is the common.....
