Overview

Flexibilite is a fairly simple and useful module. Plug an expression pedal into it and use your foot to control your system.

By default it generates a 0-5V signal (unipolar) or a -5/+5V signal (bipolar), attenuated by the foot pedal.

Flexibilité has an input for external signals, so it can be used as a volume pedal on audio or attenuator/attenuverter on CV signals.

For when you need this extra hand!

Plug your expression pedal (TRS jack)

Pedal

What is an expression pedal?

Expression pedals are used to control variable parameters on electronic music equipment such as digital amplifiers, rack effects, stomp boxes, MIDI controllers, and keyboards. The pedals do not contribute to the sound themselves, but remotely control aspects of the device they are connected to. It might help to think of an expression pedal as a remote knob that can be controlled with your foot.

Inside the pedal there's a potentiometer that moves proportionally to the pedal. The potentiometer is connected to an output jack or output cable that attaches to the expression pedal input of the device you are controlling. Unlike an in line volume pedal, there is no 'input' on an expression pedal as it does not connect to the instruments signal chain. There is just the single output that connects to the dedicated expression pedal input on the effect device. The device sends out a control voltage on one conductor of the cable which passes

Expression pedals are typically passive devices that power of their own, with the control voltage being equipment they are connected to.

Polarity

Flexibilité act as the interface

The module sends either +5v or your input signal to the pedal's potentiometer and reads how much of the original signal comes back. To do this you need an expression pedal that use a TRS ("Tip/Ring/Sleeve" or "Stereo") cable. Depending on the model of pedal you're using, the wiring of the inside potentiometer to the cable end might differ.

We decided to provide a polarity switch on the back of the module. As there's no standard in the industry the switch has no label. Most expression pedal already have a polarity switch on them but if it Flexibilité does not seem to be working properly try changing the module's polarity with this little button.

Sadly some pedals use a TS ("Tip/Sleeve" or "Mono") cable and Flexibilité will not work with those.

Uni(polar)

With no inputs the module outputs a voltage ranging between 0V (pedal fully closed) to 5V (pedal fully open).

When a signal is present at the input, you will go from no signal (fully closed) to signal multiplied by 1 (original signal, without attenuation)

Bipolar

With no inputs the module outputs a voltage between -5V (pedal fully closed) to 5V fully open). 0V is obtainable half way. When a signal is present at the input F will act as an attenuverter. When the closed the signal is multiplied by -1 (sign sion), halfway through the signal is 0 tion of the inversed signal to 0, then atte
