I have a bunch of Roland DP10 pedals (which have a three-conductor plugs). It worked fine with the polarity reversed on my K2 with 3.0.4. After I updated the firmware to 3.1.2 it no longer works? Tried plugging/un-plugging, reverse-polarity, reset/current, re-booting with/without, etc. I did forget to unplug it while I was doing the update. (I just ordered a Korg DS1H.)

OP here. Just wanted to say that I ended up getting the DS-1H to use with my new Kronos, and I really like it. Feels solid and it actually doesn't slip on my carpet, even though it lacks the no-slip mat that the Roland pedal has. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a right angle connector (I really wish damper pedals just didn't have hardwired cables), but that's a pretty small gripe. Maybe I can get a TRS right angle adapter for it.

Roland DP10 - I like the fact that I can keep my foot on the rubber so it doesn't slip.

Duh! I had it in the wrong hole! (What's the jack right above the sampler pedal jack? I can't see the back of my Kronos). Plus, I got my DS1H today! It came a day early from B+H!

I just plugged the DS1H pedal in and everything works! The diagram in the quick-start manual is so small the legends are illegible (haven't printed the real manual yet); though, I did find a decent rear-panel photo from Korg UK:

I have no personal experience with the following triple pedal, but it says it provides the full piano functionality and only needs ONE TRS jack to plug into the standard damper pedal socket. If so, this is an exciting answer for those who want this capability. Check your keyboard functionality of course. I'd like to hear from anyone who has tried this product to see if all works as stated. (text from Amazon.com provided by Studiologic)

"The Studiologic SLP3-D Triple Pedal features 2 switch controls (left and center pedals) and 1 continuous control (right pedal) connected only with one standard stereo jack and a single cable. The simplified connection avoids the need for multiple cables or plugs, and the 3 pedals are perfect controllers for pianists and keyboardists who are looking for a reliable and total musical expression. A typical application of this special SLP3-D multi-pedal could be to control the "Soft" function (Una corda) with the left pedal, the "Sostenuto" function with the middle pedal and the "Half Damper" function (Half Pedaling) with the right pedal. Studiologic is synonymous with high quality MIDI controllers and ground breaking digital pianos, organs, and pedals."

Hi Folks,

Thanks for your valued input on this.

I've been busy on gigs recently but I did get around to looking at my pedal configuration.

Damper pedal is fine and I have the sostenuto working on another pedal.

The workaround for the 'Soft' pedal is either to turn the volume down or program a new piano voice with a more muted sound.

For those who don't know:-- The 'Soft' pedal on a real grand usually shifts the keyboard & action a tad to the right so that the hammers strike 2 instead of 3 strings (and 1 instead of 2 etc.) This not only takes the volume down a tad but obviously changes the timbre as well.

Anyway - work in progress...........

Best wishes

Jeff
