A BIG THANK YOU TO STEVE M.
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO ON WIRING MY "BUTTON BOX"!!! IT WORKS JUST GREAT...I HAVE IT "VELCROED" TO THE LEFT TOP OF THE PA1X AND NOW I CAN CONTROL MY ASSIGNMENTS MUCH EASIER THAN WITH AN EC5.
AGAIN THANKS!!!!!
AGAIN THANKS!!!!!
Re: A BIG THANK YOU TO STEVE M.
Someone's shouting my name - i must have done something right for a change ! 
I just pointed out that when wiring an EC5 DIN plug, that the common 0v pin is NOT actaully the one in centre of the plug, it's the one at 12-0-clock.
The other five remaining pins at 8, 10, 2 and 4 o-clock, plus the one in the centre are the five momentary normally open switches.
That's all it was, you can knock up a switch box to sit on top of your PA1X / 2X for about $20 instead of buying an EC5. I'm glad I was able to help.

KJELD-
I STARTED A NEW THREAD BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER HOW TO THANK STEVE M AND LET OTHERS KNOW.
THE ANSWER TO THE WIRING PROBLEM IS AS STEVE SAYS...THE GROUND IS AT 12 O'CLOCK ON THE 6 PIN DIN.
THIS IS THE REASON I WAS DOING THIS:
I AM NOT A VERY GOOD KEYBOARD PLAYER, I HAVE TO USE THE STS WITH 1 FINGER SETTING FOR MY LEFT HAND. I DON'T USE THE KB FOR MIDI, RECORDING OR OTHER STUFF JUST FOR LIVE WORK. I BEGAN IN THE 1990'S USING THE KORG I2 AND I30 BOTH OF WHICH HAVE MUTE BUTTONS UNDER EACH SLIDER. IT IS EASY ACCESS FOR THE LEFT HAND WHICH I USE FOR BASS ONLY.
I DON'T LIKE THE VIRTUAL SLIDERS ON THE PA1X AND EITHER YOU USE THE ASSIGN SWITCHES (HARD TO GET TO WITH LEFT HAND...THE RIGHT IS BUSY) OR AN EC5. I HAD AN EC5 AND FOUND IT TO BE LIGHT WEIGHT, THE PEDALS FELT CLOSE SO I ALWAYS HAD TO LOOK DOWN TO SEE WHAT PEDAL I WAS ACTIVATING. SO I DECIDED TO BUILD A SMALL ENCLOSED BOX THAT MOUNTS VIA VELCRO ON THE TOP LEFT OF THE PA1X (ABOVE THE JOY STICK). IT HAS FIVE NON LATCHING (MOMENTARY) BUTTONS THAT I CAN ASSIGN WHAT I WANT AND CAN GET TO EASILY. I HAVE TO DO A LOT OF VOICE, DRUM, BASS AND ACCOMPANIMENT MUTING, VOLUME CHANGING, ETC. DURING A SET.
SINCE I DON'T CREATE MIDI FILES OF EACH SONG I NEED QUICK AND EASY CONTROLS. THIS WORKS FOR ME. I AM "OLD AN SET IN MY WAYS." IF YOU EVER ARE INTERESTED IN HEARING WHAT I DO, SEND ME AN EMAIL AND I'LL GIVE YOU THE MYSPACE SITE.
HOPE THIS HELPS.
