K.ON 

ESI

 

4.4 Pedal Connectors 

The two pedals are by default defined as sustain (

PEDAL_A 

LED on top and 

SUSTAIN

 connector on backside) and soft / damper (

PEDAL_B 

LED on top and 

DAMPER 

connector on the backside) pedal. They can be reconfigured for other 

functions however. This is described in section 4.7. 

Pedal Polarity 

K.ON can recognize / change the pedal polarity by default. If you want to send ‘Pedal On’ while 
stamping on the pedal and ‘Pedal Off’ while releasing the pedal, no operation needs to be done; If 
you want to send ‘Pedal Off’ while stamping on the pedal and ‘Pedal On’ while releasing, you need 
to stamp on the pedal before the keyboard is switched on, and release the pedal until you can see the 
keyboard is powered on and displays something on the LED display. 

4.5 Controller Knobs & Faders 

Controller Knobs 

 

8 controller knobs can send out MIDI controller values. The controllers are divided into 2 groups. 
When the first indicator LED next to the 

FUNC_A

 button is on, it means the that the first group 

with preset MIDI controllers will be used. When the second indicator is on, it means that the user 
defined 

KNx

 MIDI controllers will be sent out instead. You can switch between the two groups 

with the 

FUNC_A

 button. When adjusting different controller knobs, the LED displays current 

adjusting values, the corresponding indicator is on, also, the value can be adjusted by knobs or +, - 
buttons. Besides, the desired controller knobs can be selected by the 

SELECT

 button, and the 

values can be adjusted by knobs, number buttons, or +, - buttons.
