Pedal Question

[Groundshaker]

Hi, I am new.In two months,i am going to get a new Juno DI.
My question is,,,,,IS the EV-5 pedal used to sustain the note(s) while playing? Thank You

The EV-5 pedal is an expression pedal (like the pedal on a hammond organ) and not a sustain pedal. It is somewhat similar to a volume pedal. This should explain what an expression pedal does:

If you are looking for an affordable sustain pedal:

There's just one thing you really need to watch out when it comes to pedals - and that's the pedal polarity. If the keyboard doesn't support switching polarities, you may end up with a pedal that holds notes while NOT pressed, and releases the notes once actually pressed.

For example - Korg keyboards let you select the polarity so it really doesn't matter which polarity the pedal itself is. On the other side - Yamaha has a fixed polarity input at the back of the keyboard so you have to watch out. I have no idea how Rolands work though. You better ask someone at the music store and try the pedal before buying

Thanks for the info and the polarity warnings. I looked at the online manual and the Roland DP-10 is the pedal i should use. (guess i should have looked at the manual BEFORE posting my question).

Again Thanks for the help

The sustain pedal i provided above is dual polarity, which is why i recommended it.

The performer of the instrument its employed on, governs when and for what parts the sustain pedal is used BUT, whether a spesific brand of pedal does whatever, is better spoken to in the manufacturer's spec's as you can learn from by keying-into your adres bar, the spesific brand name & model thereof and if NOT, then I'd hesitate to buy it.

As i posted in post #4,i looked in the Roland manual,the DP-10 is what i should use (i should have looked in the manual before posting ) Thank You Archie
