The SW1 (Sustain) and SW2 Jacks
Use the pedal jacks to connect switch pedals. A switch pedal is a physical controller typically
used to control two-state (i.e., “on / off ”) parameters, such as sustain, sostenuto, soft and
Mute Zone.
NOTE : Do not to step on the switch pedals when powering up the Artis,
as the state of the pedal is detected as part of the power up sequence.
The Artis SW1 and SW2 jacks can support a single or dual switch pedal on each jack, or a
single half-damper pedal on each jack.
NOTE : It is not recommended to plug CC pedals into the SW inputs.
Due to the exible switch pedal support, CC pedals may not operate
as expected in these inputs.
If you are not using a Kurzweil switch pedal, make sure it’s connected before you turn on
the Artis. This ensures that the pedal will work properly (it might function in reverse—off
when it’s down and on when it’s up—if you turn on your Artis before plugging in the pedal).
Similarly, don’t press any of your switch pedals while powering up, as the Artis veries each
pedal’s orientation during power-up. If you’re pressing a pedal, you might cause it to work in
reverse.
