Hello John,
No joy trying that trick (plus the sustain pedal does operate in the correct jack). Note that with the Yamaha FC7 pedal installed in the proper jack (Expression), the pedal will cut off the volume when hard minimum. However, then with any small movement off of full min then the volume goes to full volume (no adjustment - quantum off-to-on). This behavior was what made me originally think that the tip & ring might need to be swapped. However you can see from the earlier reply from Christeck that the Yamaha FC7 works fine on his Solaris with no mod necessary.
Could it be the A/D electronics internally? As an EE I can do some internal checks if that would troubleshoot this problem.
Thanks,
Scott
