SUPPORTED FOOTSWITCHES
The footswitch input on the DMXIS interface is a
standard ¼” stereo jack socket. Into this, you can
plug any standard non-latching footswitch - for
example, a sustain pedal from a MIDI keyboard, or a
non-latching foot pedal from a guitar amp.
You can use both normally-open and normally-
closed types of switch.
Only use passive pedals that simply short-out the tip &
sleeve (Switch A) or ring & sleeve (Switch B) of the ¼”
jack. Do NOT use any proprietary type pedals which do
not a standard mono/stereo ¼” jack connections, or
which transmit any additional power or control signals
along the cable.
This diagram shows the wiring for a dual switch. It is also
quite safe to plug in a single switch using a simple mono
¼” jack plug (with no “ring” connection).
See page 29 for more information about using footswitches with DMXIS.
