Foot pedal CV in (Emax II)

2007-11-04 by Chase Smith

Hello,
    I am trying to figure out a way to get control over the modulation destinations from the foot pedal in with my MC-4.  I thought it would be a simple plug and go operation, but there seems to be something that I am missing.  When I tried it with a range of values, the emax (II) just seemed to go crazy.  It was modifying the filter cutoff, but it seems that sending CV above a certain value (relatively low) begins to affect the pitch in an odd manner (although it is not set up to, unless it is a global, default setting that I don't know about).  

I get the same kind of problem when I try to use my MC-4 on my E4k foot pedal in.  Is what I am trying to do possible (Use the mc-4 as a foot pedal and the MUX outs as foot switches)?  Anyone done this before or something similar?

I know that there is nothing wrong with the MC-4, but I'm thinking that it is sending too much voltage or something.  The MC-4 sends 0-10.42V for CV and 12V for gate/MUX, but I have no idea what "standard" foot pedals and switches send.

Thanks.
