Subject:RE: Halfmoon switches?
I found a resolution...from the most unlikely place.
I can actually use the onboard modulation controller to trigger the
Leslie-Sim in B4, however, the problem was it had a spring-back mechanism.
Thus, whenever I triggered the leslie-sim, I had to hold it with one hand.
No good.
So I did the forbidden....I opened my keyboard and removed the spring
from the mod-joystick. Works like a charm. I can now switch the leslie on
and off quickly and without having to glue or duct-tape any ugly Radio-shack
dongles to the side of my board. No warranty-voiding-worries....I DON'T
HAVE ONE. ...bought it used. :) Anybody who owns a KORG N364 who is
interested in doing the same thing, send me an email and I'll give you
details.

I sometimes stand and if my left foot is on the volume/swell/distortion
pedal, I just position my right foot on/off the rotary switch. I will also
use my right foot for sustain on the piano, but I never need both at exactly
the same moment, so I find my right foot pivoting just like when I'm driving
(brake/gas pedal).
I would love to know where anyone has gotten those half moon switches, they
just look so cute!
