I love this drum machine BUT I am disappointed with the product description. After manufacturing this machine for 20+ years you'd think Alesis would be kind enough to supply ALL of the information to make our purchase go smoothly. Nowhere does it state in the description that the footswitch jacks require MOMENTARY switches. These switches are not uncommon but they are not commonly made in a two button configuration to reduce cord clutter. After fumbling around with a Johnson latching switch I realized my mistake.
