Subject:Re: FC-7 [adapter]

I have an older Yamaha pedal that came with my very early, original DX-7.
It has the same kind of plug the FC7 and EV5, but it won't work with the
Electro or VK7 and it is not compatible with the newer Yamaha synths like
the SY77. Any way that it could be modified to work with the Electro/VK7?
