The functions of controllers such as the joystick or

page 371 of the Parameter Guide)
Assignable Pedal
You can specify the function that will be performed by
an assignable pedal (the optional XVP-10 Expression/
Volume pedal or EXP-2 foot controller) connected to
the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack.
• This is set by “Foot Pedal Assign.”
You can choose from the following functions.
Master volume
Alternate modulation source
Effect dynamic modulation source
Portamento pitch change speed
Volume (expression)
The pan following an insert effect
Pan
Volume
Send levels to the master effects
Duplicate the function of another controller, such as
the joystick or ribbon (See “Foot Pedal Assign” on
page 371 of the Parameter Guide)
Note: You can use this as a source for alternate
modulation or effect dynamic modulation, and use it
to control program parameters or effect parameters. In
this case, set Foot Switch Assign to Foot SW (CC#82),
and Foot Pedal Assign to Foot Pedal (CC#04).
Assigning MIDI CC#s to
KARMA, X–Y, and Pad
controllers
In the Global P2: Controllers– MIDI CC# Assign page
you can assign control change messages to the
KARMA switches and sliders, pads 1–8, and the X-axis
and Y-axis of X–Y control. Pads 1–8 can be assigned
either control change messages or note numbers. You
can assign control change messages or note numbers to
pads 1–8.
Normally you will use the default settings. To restore
the default settings, execute the Reset Controller
MIDI Assign
menu command and choose Default
Setting.
Creating user scales
Creating an original scale, and
assigning it to a Program
On the User Scale page, you can create your own
original scales. These include sixteen different User
Octave Scales, in which the pitch of each note of the
octave is repeated for all octaves, and one User All
Note Scale, in which the pitch of each of the 128 notes
can be specified independently.
By adjusting the pitch of each key in the range of ±99
cents, you can raise or lower it by approximately one
semitone relative to the normal pitch.
The user scales you create here can be used by
specifying the scale for a program, for each timbre of a
combination, or for each track of a song.
You can choose these scales from the following pages.
Here is how to set the scale type for each timbre in
Sequencer mode.
1. Create a user octave scale or a user all notes scale.
If you’re creating a user octave scale, use User Octave
Scale Select
to select the scale you want to create.
2. Select a key, and use the VALUE controllers to
adjust the pitch. The range of ±99 raises or lowers
the pitch approximately one semitone above or
below the standard pitch.
Note: You can also select a key by holding down the
ENTER switch and playing the desired note on the
keyboard.
Note: You can copy one of the preset scales and edit it
to create an original scale. To do so, use the menu
command Copy Scale.
