Yamaha Portatone, PSR-270 manual Style 01Sustain, Select the Footswitch Assign parameter

FOOTSWITCH

The PortaTone has a footswitch feature that can be used to control a variety of functions and operations. By using your foot to conveniently control these func- tions, you free your hands to concentrate on your performance.

Normally, this is used as a damper pedal, producing pedal-controlled sustain for piano and other instrument sounds that have a natural decay. It can also be assigned to any of these eleven other functions:

• EZ Chord increment	• Dual On/Off
• START/STOP	• Split On/Off
• INTRO/ENDING	• Reverb On/Off
• MAIN A	• Chorus On/Off
• MAIN B	• DSP On/Off
• Harmony On/Off

1 Call up the Function mode.

Press the FUNCTION button.

2 Select the Footswitch Assign parameter.

While the “FUNCTION” indication is flashing, use the numeric keypad to select Footswitch Assign (#71).

Function parameter numbers can be selected in the same way as with the voices (see page 28) — with the numeric keypad, +/- keys, or the FUNC- TION button.
