It adds whatever you plug into it with the Pedal CV. The Pedal CV is at
100%. The Mix
pot in an input attenuator.

So, MIX IN could be from a keyboard and then Pedal adds swooping
(foot-powered ribbon controller :) )

Old Moog pedals aren't exactly commonplace (although I have one). You can
plug in a CV
into Pedal IN due to Stooge Larry's clever input scheme.

The interface is tested with Roland EV-5 and Yamaha FC-5 and FC-7 pedals.
Any 'resistive'
pedal will work. There is a jumper to select the resistance of the pedal pot
(10K, 50K or 100K).
