Yamaha G50 - Manual (Page 21)

1 8 Edit Mode
Selecting a number between 1 and 128 engages the
HOLD 1 or HOLD 2 mode. The hold modes can be
switched by turning the G50 power ON while pressing the
footswitch. When this is done the current hold mode type
will appear on the display briefly before the normal
PLAY mode display: “HLd1” for the HOLD 1 mode, or
“HLd2” for the HOLD 2 mode.
● HLd1
The HOLD 1 mode: the parameter value (1 … 128) corre-
sponds to a G50 program number. If the pedal is pressed
while a note is played, the note is held and the G50
switches to the program number specified by the SUSTAIN/
HOLD parameter value. New notes played while the pedal is
pressed are played via the hold program. All sound is muted
when the pedal is released.
● HLd2
The HOLD 2 mode: the pedal toggles between the current
G50 program and the program specified by the SUSTAIN/
HOLD parameter value. “HLd” appears on the display while
the hold program is selected.
■ NOTES
• The HOLD function uses one MIDI channel, as listed in the
“Multi-channel Mode Settings” chart on page 7.
• Choose a non-decaying voice (such as ORGAN) when using
the SUS1, SUS2, or HLD1 function.
• MIDI sustain ON/OFF data can be received while the
sustain or hold function is active.

■ NOTES
• When using either “T: Picking Position Control” or “W:
Touch Control” to control a MIDI NRPN function, set the
appropriate NRPN MSB and LSB via the Assignable Control
Number 1 and 2 parameters (page 16) then set the data
entry MSB via the “T: Picking Position Control” or “W: Touch
Control” parameter.
● SU1
The SUSTAIN 1 mode: the pedal functions like the sustain
pedal on a piano, sustaining notes played until the pedal is
released. In this mode new notes can be played while the
pedal is held.
● SU2
The SUSTAIN 2 mode: played notes are sustained while the
pedal is held, and pitch bend/vibrato data will be recog-
nized. Subsequent notes played on the same string will not
be recognized while the pedal is held. Other strings are
processed in the normal way. Long tones can be played with
string bends or vibrato without the need for additional
note-on data.
Y: Sustain/Hold Pedal
Settings: SU1, SU2, 1 … 128
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch can be
connected to the rear-panel SUSTAIN/HOLD jack for
sustain or hold function control, as described below.
When either the “SU1” or “SU2” is selected, the
footswitch functions as a sustain pedal.
