VINTAGE KORG MS-04 SYNTHESIZER PITCH/MODULATION PEDAL

via this auction
"The MS-04 was made to provide extra pitch bending and modulation sources to their MS line of synthesizers. You just patched the pedal into those synths and it greatly enhanced their options.

But you can use it on any CV controllable synthesizer (with attenuation.) It's main home was my Octave Cat SRM but I've used it with my Roland SH-09 as well. A cool thing too is that you can use the square wave to trigger events or as a clock for CV sequencers. Why would I do that? Well as I said at one point I didn't have the modular I do now. Waves on the LFO are square, triangle, random and the ultra-cool Glissando. Keep the glissando low for staircase effect, crank it up to thicken your sound and add some life to it.

You can send the signal to two options at once. Like your VCF and VCO. Using either the x1 or the x4 depending on the range. And you can select for each output LFO, BENDER or my fave LFO+BENDER."

You can find the manual here.
