The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I've never seen a pedal with a polarity switch built into it. In my 
experience this feature is typically enabled in software on *some* 
keyboards - the AN1x not being one of them. If memory serves, my old 
Korg keyboards (T3 and Wavestation) had this feature. It's the kind 
of feature which, IMO, should be taken for granted that it's included 
but I guess the manufacturers don't all see it that way.

regards,
Jon
