Hi Thomas,

Yes you can use a regular sustain pedal connected to the XK-3 to
control the Ventilator's speed switching, or a half moon or what ever
you prefer.

This works exactly the same as when you have connected a regular 11
pin Leslie to the XK-3 or any other Hammond clone with 11 pin output,
also the stop position works.

Sorry Thomas I have not studied the XK-1's 8 pin din interface so I
don't know if it is possible.

Best regards,
Sven
