Hi

Newbie, so apologies if this post is in the wrong place - couldn't see a better
one!

I've just bought a Korg 55B drum machine but it's minus the original footswitch. In the absence of buying a pricey original, does anyone has clues as to what types of footswitches could work with it? (It has 2 switches: drum trigger and fill.) Not bothered about originals, just has to function.

Thanks a lot.

are you shure "drum trigger" is not a piezo trigger input ?

Yes, I am sure.

The original dual FS was to start the playback and trigger the fills, not to trigger drum sounds like on an Alesis or other module.

I have the KR-55 and the two FS inputs use a normally open switch.

A Casio FS will work, as well.
