Potential Pedalboard Issues<br />

Hang over (of the pedal variety)<br />

Note: Should you encounter pedalboard notes that “hang over,” don’t<br />

play, or only play at the bottom of the key, you may be able to fix this by<br />

adjusting the reed switches (not a big deal.) These are found under the<br />

cover at the black key end of the pedal board. Get your Philips head screw<br />

driver, stand the pedal board on the opposite end. Remove the swell shoes<br />

and unscrew the cover. The reed switches should be facing you. With the<br />

midi cable still attached and the power cord connected, start Hauptwerk<br />

and turn on several pedal stops of your sample set. Play all notes by half<br />

step with your hands from bottom to top and then top to bottom and<br />

make a list of any problem notes. For the problem notes, unscrew the reed<br />

switch screws just enough to allow the plate to be moved slightly up or<br />

down. Move the plate slightly, re-screw, then test the problem pedal note<br />

and the adjacent ones. If you have adjacent notes hanging, play these, after<br />

your adjustment, in as legato a fashion as possible to test for continued<br />

hanging. Once you have corrected the problem(s), don’t re-cover the reed<br />

switches. Put the pedal board down on the floor and place the bench in an<br />

appropriate position above it. Play every half step both up and down the<br />

pedalboard with your feet in a very legato manner. You might find a<br />

problem note this way that you hadn’t noticed when playing with your<br />
