Kurzweil PC2R Leslie Effect

[zonk222]

I just bought a Kurzweil PC2R (sound module) (and have it hooked up to my ancient Yamaha DX5 synthesizer (it combines 2 DX7's!)

 

I want to buy a foot pedal (to free my hands) to control the Leslie effect in the PC2R.

 

1. Do I buy the pedal that is made by Kurzweil (Model CP1) or should I purchase something else? If something else - please send your recommendation.

 

2. Once I get a pedal, where, specifically (and, I mean, specifically) do I plug it in?

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Zonk222,

Maybe I can answer your question. The PC2r doesn't have a continuous control pedal input. I don't think your DX-5 has one either but it's possible. Man you have a treasure with the DX-5.

Six octaves and built like a tank. They are almost impossible to find. Most of the new controller keyboards have a CC pedal or a programmable pedal input. I wish these manufacturers would make modules with pedal inputs for people who play say a P-80

P-90 or P120 Yamaha or other stage pianos without controller

functions. I suppose the reason they don't is cost. Modules are

not big money makers anyway as a rule. Hope you find what you need.
