"Test run of Harpoon Cables TRS to 5 pin DIN adapter specifically wired to enable modern expression pedals to be used on vintage Korg synths requiring the FK-4 pedal...http://www.harpooncables.com/#!blank/..."

"The HSP-01 cable allows you to use a modern TRS expression pedal with your Korg Polyphonic Ensemble. Simply plug the 5 pin DIN connector into your synth and then use a standard TRS cable to connect the 1/4" female output of this cable to the 1/4" input on your expression pedal. The original FK-4 expression pedal featured a on/off switch where this cable does not. Therefore this cable is considered "always on". Price starts at $12.

*Please note, we also offer this cable with a male 1/4" end rather than female. The male version of this cable is called the HSP-02.

**This cable is not affiliated with KORG or its subsidiaries in any regard nor is it a KORG product. The user takes on full responsibilities and liabilities. Due to the age of the instruments intended for this cable's use, the manufacturer can not guarantee this cables performance on the user's specific instrument."
