The KORG PS-1 is a flat, metal-bodied momentary footswitch designed to function as a sustain pedal or control switch (e.g., start/stop, program advance, punch in/out) on compatible keyboards and equipment. It features a fixed, negative-polarity 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack cable , allowing for immediate integration with most KORG keyboards. Its sturdy construction and non-slip footswitch keep the pedal stable on stage and in the studio, while the compact form factor makes it easy to place on pedalboards or under the keyboard. Measuring 79 × 103 × 27 mm (3.1 × 4.1 × 1.1 in) and weighing 253 g (9.8 oz) , it offers a durable and reliable solution for basic touch control.

• Can it be used for half-damper (continuous sustain)? No; for continuous response, KORG recommends a DS-1H pedal. The PS-1 acts as an ON/OFF sustain pedal.
• Can I use it with other brands? Yes, if the device supports a momentary negative polarity switch or has auto-sensing/adjustable polarity.
