Using the XP32-PRO Bass Pedals

Playing the Pedals:

MIDI out port (7). Then connect the AC adaptor to the AC adaptor input (8) and flip the
power switch on (9).

up (2) and octave down (1) buttons simultaneously

The XP32-PRO pedals are non-velocity sensing and transmit a default midi velocity of

*The current channel and program may also be changed by an increment of plus or
minus one by pressing the octave up or octave down keys, respectively.

Using the Expression Pedals

The XP32-PRO is equipped with dual expression units for added dynamic control.
Each expression pedal also contains a side switch that could be used to trigger vari­ous effects such as rotary speed, chorus on/off, etc. To use the expression pedals
(10,11), simply connect any 1/4” STEREO cable into the expression pedal output,
(12,13) into any expression or swell input on your synthesizer or keyboard.

Using the Compatibility Switch (internal)

The XP32-PRO volume pedals are each equipped with a compatibility switch in order
to make it work with synthesizers and keyboards from different manufacturers. The
compatibility switches are located under the expression units and each have 2 posi­tions, “reverse”, and “standard”. Please see the following list of keyboard
manufacturer’s to determine which position the switch should be in

Use STANDARD position: Yamaha, Kawai, and Korg

Use REVERSE position: Roland, Nord, CME, Kurzweil, Novation, and M-audio
