RE: [gsp-2101] Controll One Issue

I knew it had something to do with 2 extra pins. Well I've never owned a Control 1. Thanks for the correction.

The Control One has a standard 5-pin female DIN socket. So does its counterpart socket on the back of the GSP-2101.
Many MIDI cables have only 3 wires, connecting only 3 out of the 5 terminals. The wire you use to connect the Control One to the GSP-2101 must have all 5 pins connected.
NEVER connect the Control One to the GSP-2101 with the GSP-2101 powered on. ALWAYS make sure the GSP-2101 is POWERED OFF before connecting the Control One. NEVER attempt to use the Control One socket on the back of the GSP-2101 for connecting anything other than a Control One, GSP-2101FC, or Johnson J12.

Doesn't the Control 1 require a 7 pin DIN? And make sure it's connected to the right socket or damage could result.

I have tried two different cables and not sure whate the problem might be.
The pedals 1, 2, 6, and 7 all seem to have the same problem.
When I press them they light up brightly then dim, sometimes I have to tap them twice for the patch to stay.
When I pressed UTILITY on the GSP 2101 itself and I believe I hit 2, then 2, then 3 which lights up all the leds, 1, 2, 6, and 7 did not light up at all.

The first cable was a 5-pin din shielded Nuetrik and the second one was a 5 pin din cheap cable from Guitar Center.

I have tested all with different surge protectors and outlets.

Any help would be awesome.
Thanks,
