Will a Yamaha expression pedal work on a non-Yamaha MIDI keyboard? It

Thanks!

Hi,

Some expression pedals are wired with the pot on TRS, some others use
RTS (i.e. wiper of the pot either on tip or ring). To make things worse,
some use a lienar pot, some others use a log pot.

AFAIK Yamaha uses RTS wiring. On the other hand, most pedals use TRS.
But in a lot of keyboards, the polarity is either tunable or
auto-detected.

The only advice is to test the pedal on the keyboard, or to check in
its documentation.

-a.

Thanks, Akexandre. Guess I'll just have to find out when I get to the point of buying a new keyboard.
