Pinout for pedal connector on B4d controller

Somewhere in my archives I had the pinout for the 5 pin DIN connector on the B4d which allowed for two footswitches (leslie control) and continuous pedal (volume) - unfortunately I can no longer find it (might be on a dead computer). Is there anywhere I can get this information?

 

Some years ago I have searched for a solution for the same problem. In this forum I found following threads:

In some of these threads are bits of informationen regarding the pin out of the DIN jack of the B4D. There is also a mention of a file in yahoos clonewheel forum. I registered at yahoo but I haven't successfully found the schematics. Maybe you are more successful.

I found another solution which works flawlessly for several years now: My MIDI keyboard, which I use to play the organ software (in the past B4 and B4 II, now VB-3), has an input for a foot controller. I connected it to an usual pedal with CV-output (an Yamaha FC-7 connected to an old DX7). In the VSTi software I had to map the controller data of the foot controller to the swell pedal. And I merge the B4D output data with the keyboards data, so I can use both controllers to control the organ software.

Hope my hints are helpful.

This is the info you need to make a 5-pin to trs adapter that you can plug a standard exp. pedal into.

On the Midi jack, clockwise from the left..
pin 3 goes to the ring (ADJ)
pin 5 goes to the tip (V+)
pin 2 goes to ground (GND)

Helpful schematics;

I should mention that it's possible other configurations might work too, I found this online as well..

Mine works great, good luck!
