Roland VK8M FYI "footswitch for leslie solution"

[morty]

FYI to save a lot of hassle

I recently purchased the Roland VK 8M Organ sound module
but found the hand D beam a nuisance.And the Organ module had no output for a footswitch
just an expression pedal.

So I Purchased from "midi soultions" a preprogrammed footswitch controller box
with the Boss FS5U footswitch it works awesome!!! triggering the leslie on and off via the footswitch so my hands dont have to leave the keys. Must have the midi box programmed to the CC on the Roland see below.

this can be usefuln with other roland products and keyboards with a Hammond b3 simulator


General Purpose Controller 5 (Controller number 80) (Rotary Speed)

Hopefully it will help others with this problem.
