SW1 (SUSTAIN) and SW2 Jacks
Use the SW1 (SUSTAIN) and SW2 jacks to connect switch pedals. One switch pedal is
included with the PC4 SE.
In Program Mode, SW1 (SUSTAIN) defaults to controlling Sustain, and SW2 defaults to
controlling Sostenuto. (For KB3 Organ Programs, SW1 (SUSTAIN) defaults to controlling
the Rotary Speaker speed, changing between fast and slow. is assignment can be changed
in Global Mode. e display shows “KB3” when a KB3 Program is selected.)
In Multi Mode, pedal assignments can vary per Multi. Pedal assignments can be adjusted for
each Zone by using Multi Edit Mode.
Global Mode can be used to set pedal overrides, which can change the pedal assignments for
all Programs and Multis.
Note: Switch pedals must be plugged in before powering on the PC4 SE. Do not to step on
the switch pedals when powering on the PC4 SE, as the state of the pedals is detected as part
of the start up sequence.
Dual Switch Pedals
e SW1 (SUSTAIN) and SW2 jacks can be connected to dual switch pedals (2 pedals per
jack), allowing up to four switch pedals to be used. Compatible pedals should use a single
1/4 inch tip-ring-sleeve plug. (Two single switch pedals can also be plugged into one jack by
using a 1/4 inch stereo (male) to dual mono (female) splitter cable, aka TRS to dual TSF).
Pedals plugged into the SW1 (SUSTAIN) jack are referred to as SW1a and SW1b, and
pedals plugged into the SW2 jack are referred to as SW2a and SW2b. In Program Mode the
default assignments are:
SW1a Sustain
SW1b Sostenuto
SW2a Sostenuto
SW2b Soft Pedal
To emulate the 3 pedals of an acoustic piano, plug a single switch pedal into the SW1
(SUSTAIN) jack, and a dual switch pedal into the SW2 jack.
