Pre order - Compatibility check

Post by desjardins.bob@gmail.com »

Hi!
I was glad to find your MidiExpression products. I play Electronic Wind Instruments and will find it quite useful to control different articulations in my sampling software and other midi based instruments...look mom, no hands!
Can you tell me if these pedals are compatible with MidiExpression iO or Quatro

- Yamaha bass drum pedal KU100
- Yamaha hi hat pedal HH65
- Korg 3 pedal damper Dp-10

I addition I will certainly be using standard footswith that I know are compatible

Merci

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. The Yamaha KU100 is not compatible. It's a piezo based solution. Piezos can produce some pretty high voltages which can damage your MIDI Expression. Don't use them. The same goes for e-drum pads in general. For that pedal, you'd need one of these.

The HH65 is fully compatible and automatically set up as a hihat controller. As for the Korg, a quick search online revealed nothing. Is the name correct?
