Kurzweil Artis - Connecting Pedals

Getting Started
Connecting Pedals

Connecting Pedals
Plug your switch, dual switch, half-damper or continuous control pedals into the
corresponding jacks on Artis rear panel. We recommend using the Kurzweil pedals described
in Pedals (Optional) on page 1-2. However you can use almost any switch or continuous
control pedal that adheres to the following specications.
Switch Pedals
1/4 inch tip-sleeve (mono) plug or, 1/4 inch tip-ring-sleeve plug
congured as dual switches (TS and RS) or 2 terminal continuous
pedal (half-damper).
Continuous Control
(CC) Pedals
10 kΩ linear-taper potentiometer, 1/4 inch tip-ring-sleeve (stereo)
plug with the wiper connected to the tip.
Pedals are all independently assignable within each Zone of every Multi.
Here are the default control settings for the three pedals used by Artis:
SW 1 Pedal Sustain (MIDI 64)
SW 2 Pedal Sostenuto (MIDI 66)
CC Pedal Expression (MIDI 11)
NOTE : Ensure that pedals are plugged in before powering up the
Artis and do not step on the switch pedals when powering up, as the
pedal type and state of the pedal is detected as part of the power up
sequence.
Connecting a Single Switch Pedal
When a single switch pedal is plugged into the SW1 Pedal jack on the rear panel, a single
switch pedal will, by default, act like a sustain pedal. When a single switch pedal is plugged
into the SW2 Pedal jack, the single switch pedal will, by default, act like a sostenuto pedal.
