● Soft, Sostenuto, Hold—The footswitch can be used as a

can also be controlled using a dedicated (but optional)
DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch connected to the
HOLD FOOTSWITCH socket.
● Hold Lower1—The footswitch does the same as the
LOWER 1 HOLD function (see also p. 102).

LOWER 2 HOLD function (see also p. 102).
● Hold Lower 1–2—The footswitch allows you to switch
the LOWER 1/2 HOLD functions on and off.
● Talk—The footswitch performs the same function as the
[TALK] button in the VOCAL HARMONIST section.
● Harmony On/Off—The footswitch allows you to switch
the currently selected HARMONY function ([VOCODER],
[SMALL] or [ENSEMBLE]) on and off. Select this function
if you want to switch the harmonies on for the choruses
and off for the verses (for example), while playing on the
keyboard.
● Minus One—The footswitch allows you to switch the
Minus-One function on and off. See page 45 for how to
select the option that will be used when the Minus-One
function is on.

● Break Mute—When you press the footswitch, Arranger
playback is muted for the remainder of the current mea-
sure. This is great for rock’n’roll songs.
● Reset/Start—This function allows you have the Arranger
start on the first beat of the currently selected Music
Style pattern when you press the footswitch. Use it
when you are accompanying a singer or soloist whose
timing is a little shaky and suddenly notice that the
Arranger lags one or two beats behind the singer/soloist.
