How do I calibrate the pedals on my Korg SV-1?
You can calibrate the pedals connected to the DAMPER, PEDAL 1 and PEDAL 2 connectors in the back panel. By calibrating a pedal, you let the SV-1 understand its polarity and the full range of values sent.
- Connect all pedals to be calibrated to the SV-1. Remember that DAMPER expects the included Korg DS-2H damper pedal, PEDAL 1 expect a foots- witch-type pedal, and PEDAL 2 can be used to connect either a footswitch or expression-type pedal.
- Set any expression-type pedal to its lowest setting.
- Turn the SV-1 off.
- Keep the AUTO/PEDAL button pressed, and turn the SV-1 on.
- When the AUTO/PEDAL LED starts to flash, release the button.
If you do nothing in the next few seconds, the AUTO/PEDAL LED will turn off, and the SV-1 will complete the start-up sequence.
- While the AUTO/PEDAL LED is flashing, press the button again. SV-1 enters calibration mode.
- Now calibrate PEDAL 1 (a footswitch). Completely depress the pedal, then release it. When you have finished calibrating the pedal connected to the PEDAL 1 jack, FAVORITE button #1 will turn on.
- Then, calibrate PEDAL 2. The procedure is different, depending on the use of a footswitch or an expression pedal:
• If you connected a footswitch, completely depress it, then release it.
• If you connected an expression pedal, push it all the way forward to its max- imum position, then return the pedal to its minimum or lowest position.
When you have finished calibrating the pedal connected to the PEDAL 2 jack, FAVORITE button #2 will turn on.
- Finally calibrate the DAMPER pedal. Completely depress the pedal, then release it. When you have finished calibrating the pedal connected to the DAMPER jack, FAVORITE button #3 will turn on.
- When finished calibrating:
• If you calibrated all three pedals connected, SV-1 automatically exits cali-bration mode and continue the start-up sequence.
• If you calibrated only one or two pedals, press the AUTO/PEDAL button again to exit calibration mode and continue the start-up sequence.
