OWNERS MANUAL
3) Using the RFX412 as a VOLTAGE CONTROLLER
Many MIDI devices will accept standard passive (non-powered) volume pedal
outputs as a way to control Continuous Controller (or CC) functions.CC functions
are functions that allow the user to vary the amount of a particular parameter of
MIDI.For example, you can control your Chorus depth, or reverb room size, or
echo delay time - by using the RFX412 and a properly configured MIDI device.
Refer to the owners manual of your MIDI device for the correct connections and
programming configurations for this function.
If you use Channel 1's OUT/CV jack, the resistance is approximately 0 ohms in
the forward position, and approximately100K ohms in the back position.If the
Channel 2 IN/CV jack is used, the resistance is 100K ohms in the forward posi-
tion, and 0 ohms in the back position.
SPECIFICATIONS
Max Resistance: 100K ohms +/-30%
Jacks: 4:1/4" unbalanced phone jacks, 2 per channel

tance.

OPERATION
1) NORMAL Volume Mode
In this mode, the RFX412 takes either a mono or stereo signal, and controls the
overall signal level.Channel 1 Input signal level is controlled by the pedal, and
sent out Channel 1 output.The same goes for Channel 2.
Example One shows a possible connection diagram for using the RFX412 for a
stereo volume control.
2) PANNING Mode
With the PAN/NORM switch pressed in, the RFX412 acts as a panning or balance
control.If a stereo signal is present, like the right side going to Channel 1, and the

EXAMPLE 2
left side going to Channel 2;the right channel is fully on when the pedal is rotated
completely forward, and the left channel is completely off.When the pedal is
rotated to it's back position, the left channel is on and the right channel is off.For a
balanced signal level, the pedal must be placed in the middle of it's rotation.
If you wish to pan a mono signal, you must use a "Y" cable to send the same
signal to both Channels 1 and 2.Then that signal is panned between Channel 1
and Channel 2 outputs.Refer to Example Two.
