Assigning functions to the pedals

By default, the three pedals act as (from right to left) damper, sostenuto and soft. You can freely reassign them according to your need or preference. You can either assign them to the sounds (see page 44), or globally by these pages. Global pro- gramming override sound settings.

Hint: Use sound programming to assign sound effects, like damper, rotary speaker velocity and glide; use global program-

ming to assign global controls, like drum pattern, recorder and quarter tone control.

Note: When a function other than Sound is assigned to a pedal, therefore overriding sound programming, a (G) abbreviation appears in the pedal assignment pages in Sound Edit mode.

1.After having kept the EDIT button pressed, use the

SCROLL button to show the Pedal assignment page for the pedal you wish to reprogram:

3 2 1

Pedal 3 Glob. 8 Sound

Pedal 2 Glob. 7 Sound

Pedal 1 Glob. 6 Sound

2.Use the +/YES and -/NO button to choose the assigned function.

	for the drum pattern (see “Drum patterns”
