Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

This is only possible in one of 2 ways:

1) Electrically if the microswitch in the pedal has 3 contacts, Common, NO & NC.  Then if it is using NO, use NC, else if using NC, use NO.

or

2) Mechanically, one user has said that in his switch, he was able to physically reverse the orientation of the switch so that, for example, if normally the contact is unpressed and pushing the pedal presses the contact, he was able to change it so when the pedal was not depressed, the switch lever was pressed, and when the pedal was pressed, the microswitch lever was unpressed....

Otherwise, you need a new pedal......
