KORGPS1 Single Sustain Switch
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Basic on/off sustain switch for keyboards and synths. Buy it if you just need sustain and don't care about half-damper response.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Synth and stage rigs where sustain is simply on or off
- Second pedal for a backup board or rehearsal space
- Triggering footswitch functions like patch advance, if your board allows
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Piano players who want partial pedaling and gradual note decay
- Anyone needing a heavy pedal that stays planted under hard playing
- Boards requiring a continuous damper signal for correct response
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Momentary switch design
Sustain holds only while your foot is down and releases the moment you lift. That's the normal behavior for sustain.
Detail 03
Single pedal, not dual
One function per pedal. A board with two footswitch jacks needs a second unit for a second assignment.
Detail 04
Around $48
Entry-level pricing. Expect a compact plastic-bodied pedal rather than a weighted piano-style unit.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Some keyboards need pedal polarity set in global settings to avoid reversed sustain
- 02Lightweight switch pedals can slide on smooth floors during energetic playing
- 03No half-damper — if you want partial pedaling, look at the DS-1H
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this work with non-KORG keyboards?
Generally yes for standard sustain jacks, though some boards need their pedal polarity setting changed so sustain isn't reversed. Check your keyboard's global menu.
02Can I use it as a footswitch for something other than sustain?
If your keyboard lets you assign the footswitch jack to functions like patch change or start/stop, this pedal can trigger them.
03Is it a footswitch or a damper pedal?
A footswitch. It reports on or off only, unlike a damper pedal that reports how far it's pressed.
04Why is sustain stuck on until I press the pedal?
That's reversed polarity. Set the pedal polarity in your keyboard's global settings, ideally with the pedal plugged in before powering on.
