Hi! What modern sustain and expression pedals work "best" with the CS80? Yamaha's own FC7 and FC4? Thanks!

The pedal switch is a normally closed momentary switch... pressing the pedal will open the connection resulting in sustain and portamento.... there is no learn feature on a CS80 for polarity.... As for the Controler pedal.... any wrong attempt can take out a ground rail...... There is voltage supplied from the CS80 that powers a light bulb/photocell circuit in the original volume/wah pedal...I would try to find the right pedal .....I had to pay a considerable sum to fix mine after a solder blob in my TRS jack shorted to the 1/4" casing I have 2 FC7 pedals and I doubt they use the voltage a CS80 delivers...

Thanks! I just got a CS80 (lucky me!) and thought it better to ask before trying out! Anyone got any leads on some suitable pedals? Cheers, Jussi --- In yamahacs80@yahoogroups.com, Laurie Curry <laurie@...> wrote:

Upon further research and reading, I am finding out through google searching that the yamaha FC7 may be the replacement for the original yamaha optocoupler pedal that is no longer made.... I am quite sure that the older bulbed pedal will not stand in as a replacement for other devices which reccomend an FC7, but perhaps yamaha did design the FC7 with the older synths and organs in mind.... ....Personally, I would still be hesitant the first time myself, until I was 100% sure..... I believe mostly any roland or yamaha footswitch will work for the CS80 pedal switch....including the FC4 and the FC5...

I use the FC7 and FC4 and have had no problems. The FC4 works perfectly for sustain and/or portamento, whilst the FC7 can be used for expression/volume - although I don't use this much and it tends to be fully on. Hope that helps anyone nervous of plugging these in (I was too at first). --- In yamahacs80@yahoogroups.com, Laurie Curry <laurie@...> wrote:

Cool! Thank you all! I was unsure of the pedals, so better to ask than to be sorry.. The CS80 is a wonderful instrument. I'm happy to have finally gotten one! :) Cheers, Jussi Kulomaa --- In yamahacs80@yahoogroups.com, "simon" <rabbitfoot88@...> wrote:

Very Cool, I've wanted to a replacement for the expression pedal since i have owned this beast. Looking forward to trying them. Thanks --- In yamahacs80@yahoogroups.com, "simon" <rabbitfoot88@...> wrote:
