Using the Footswitch or Foot
Controller
(
6 [AUX PEDAL] jack)
By connecting a Foot Controller or Footswitch to the
[AUX PEDAL] jack, you can have convenient control
over various user-assignable functions. For example,
connecting the Foot controller FC7 and assigning it the
volume control function allows you to add expression
to your performance by controlling the volume level of
the notes you play. Or by connecting the FC4 or FC5
footswitch and assigning it to the Style playback start/
stop function, you can start and stop the Style with your
foot. (In this case, the pedal has the same function as
the panel STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button.) The
assignable functions are listed following the instructions
below.
Assigning Specific Functions to Each
Foot Pedal
In addition to the footswitch or foot controller, the three
piano pedals installed to the instrument (Right, Center
and Left pedals) can also be assigned to various func-
tions here. The following explanations cover the related
operations and assignable functions (parameters).
