Looking for info about the Peddle inputs to a vintage Keystation Pro 88

[J-the-E4]

Is there any tech info available on what is expected for the volume & expression peddles on this keyboard?
Simple switch closure or? . . .

No, a typical non "half-damping" sustain pedal is on and off type pedal, an expression and volume pedal work differently. It's a "continuous controller" pedal whose range starts typically at 0 and moves to 127 as the pedal is pressed from heel to toe.

Put this in google: "expression pedal how does it work".

 

[J-the-E4]

127 what "ohms" or? . . . anyone have anythinng even resembling actual tech specs . . .
maybe I'm too demanding, I am retired from the commercial electronics buisiness and in the case of electronic equipment that businesses consider capital assetts, there is LOTS of documentation & deffinition of everything . . .
oh well . . .

Well then, you an ought to LOVE the world of MIDI.
Start digging into MIDI specs and 0 to 127 will become abundantly clear.

Google "basic midi for dummies" .....

 

[shadedude]

…or Wikipedia, or the search engine of your choice.
Once you start getting familiar with what the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) can do, then do a search for the “[your instrument] MIDI Implementation” documentation.
That will give you specific functions and parameters you can begin to utilize.

(and, by the way, it’s “pedal.”)
