A phone call today reminded me of a potential point of confusion for Solaris owners. Here’s the deal:
In my original specification, the Solaris had 2 pedals -
Pedal 1 - the Expression Pedal
Pedal 2 - the Sustain pedal
That's all I ever considered. Little did I realize until it was too late that the engineer at Sonic Core who was coding this part had a dual sustain pedal unit, so he added a second Sus Pedal to the setup. This means the Sustain pedal jack is a stereo jack, to handle the 2 signals.
What I neglected to do was to add this 3rd pedal to the Mod Source List, having never really thought about it.
So, we have the following confusion - in the foot pedal Home page, one sees:
ExpPed ----- SusPed1 ----- SusPed2-----Assign1-----Assign2
But in the Mod Source list (User Manual page 54 Appendix 2) one sees only Pedal 1 and Pedal 2. This is obviously confusing. Here’s what the Appendix 2 should state:
Ped1 - Expression Pedal (ExpPed)
Ped2 - SusPed 1
We will make an edit to the manual at some point soon....as to if & when we can add this 3rd pedal to the Sources - well, I would guess that’s something with a very low priority on the features list!
