Damper pedal or sustain operation. Pressing the footswitch applies a

 

 

natural sustain to the keyboard-played voice.

 

 

 

EZ Chord Increment

When using EZ Chord (page 66), this provides the same function as

 

 

pressing a key in the accompaniment section of the keyboard. Each

 

 

press of the footswitch advances to and plays the next EZ Chord entry.

 

 

When accompaniment is playing back, simply press and release the

 

 

footswitch; when accompaniment playback is off, hold down the

 

 

footswitch to keep playing the chord.

 

 

This does not disable the accompaniment section of the keyboard; either

 

 

the footswitch or the keyboard can be used for EZ Chord increment when

 

 

this is selected.
