  Hello,
  you mean I need this one ?

  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ensoniq-SW-10-Dual-Damper-Foot-Switch-/320881522699?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab607780b

  because I have this and it is not working:

  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ensoniq-FSW-1-Footswitch-Pedal-Made-In-Italy-Keyboard-Accessorie-No-Reserve-/260995615940?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc48d0cc4

  Do I need the first one ?

  thanks

  Rick

  > EASY! There is a pedal jack on the rear that will take a dual pedal (with a stereo-type plug). Go to MASTER menu and select FOOTSWITCH, the assign FS1 to PATCH L, and FS2 to PATCH R. Sorry, but unlike the TS series, there is only one dual jack - so if you want to access BOTH pasch select buttons via pedals, you'll have to give up sustain. OPTION: get a cheap keyboard and MIDI it to the VFX, then plug your sustain pedal into THAT keyboard and let it send the MIDI control for sustain to the VFX.
