Foot Switch Control - (Momentary - Normally Closed)

Foot Switch Control - (Momentary - Normally Closed)

Some manufacturers of keyboards and recording gear, such as Roland and Yamaha, set their keyboards to sustain and/or switch patches (and set their recorders to punch-in and out), when the footswitch BREAKS (rather than MAKES) a connection. So, for gear made by Roland and Yamaha, or any other manufacturer that specifies a momentary, normally closed switch, Hosa's FSC-503 is the right one to choose.

Hosa's FSC-Series foot switches are perfect for guitar-amplifier channel switching, keyboard sustain, synthesizer patch advance, punch-in/out for multi-track recording, and other applications. They all feature steel chassis, high-friction rubber on top and bottom so they can't "walk" away from you like some pedals can, and a generous 3-meter (9.9 ft.) connecting cable. Check out the applications above to determine which model will work for your intended application.

NOTE:

At the time of this writing, the only manufacturers specifying switches like our FSC-503 are Roland, Yamaha and Technics. As far as we know, most other major manufacturers specify switches like our FSC-502. Some manufacturers, like Kurzweil and Korg, make keyboards and sound modules which check the foot switch jack during the startup self-diagnostic, and adjust themselves accordingly for whatever footswitch is connected at that time. For those keyboards, either the FSC-502 or the FSC-503 will work as long as you plug one of them in before you power-up. There are no standards for footswitch implementation, and music-equipment manufacturers are free to change their minds on this, so the only way to be sure which type of switch will work for your application is to read the equipment manual or call the equipment manufacturer.
