Use exp1 exp2 to control red switch jhs?

MIDI Control

Would people know if it is possible to use exp1 and exp2 to control the red switch of the jhs pedals? I would like to trigger this function through my mc6 mkii! Thanks

It might work if you purchase one of those to connect between the MC and the JHS pedal… https://www.morningstar.io/relay-interface

Or: if the functions that the Red Switch performs on the JHS pedal can be accessed / enabled via MIDI CC commands, you’d be able to program the MC to send those functions to the JHS

thank you very much I thought the MC had this internal function I just made the purchase of the relay!

The midi controllers support the following on the multi function ports (the trs sockets, not the 5 pin midi din):

  • expression input
  • button input (up to 3 buttons)
  • midi output

It’s hard to keep this straight.

Most midi controllers have this issue on their multi-function ports. It’s the sweet spot of what you can do without getting fancy/special purpose in the electronics and handle the various ways the other devices might destroy the controller’s electronics (which is what the add-on devices like the relay are designed to handle for specific purposes).
