Question: Does the FC5 work with the StagePAS 400i?
Answer
Thank you for the question. The FC5A is our recommend pedal for use with the StagePAS 400i and StagePAS 600i (for switching reverb on and off).
Question: Does this pedal work with the PSR-E333?
Answer
Thank you for the message. Yes; the PSR-E333 is designed to work with the FC5A pedal. Using it with the PSR-E333 gives you foot control over whether the notes are sustained (as you'd have when playing an acoustic or digital piano).
You can also switch the sustain effect on using Function 022 from the keyboard's own controls but this isn't feasible or practical whilst playing the keyboard with two hands.
Question: Which sustain pedal is best to use with the np12?
Answer
Hi,
Thank you for your message.
The two compatible sustain pedals are the FC5 and FC4.
The FC4 has a more Piano like feel to it.
Thanks,
