Chapter 6 Setting the External Pedal Functions

Source

fig.06-090d

This sets the controller (source) that affects the target parameter.

Controllers that can be selected as the source are shown below.

EXP PEDAL

Expression pedal connected to the EXP PEDAL/CTL 1, 2 jack.

CTL 1, CTL 2

Foot switch connected to the EXP PEDAL/CTL 1, 2 jack.

MIDI CC# 1–31, 64–95

Control Change messages from an external MIDI device (1– 31, 64–95)

Source Mode

fig.06-100d

This determines whether the control pedal will function as a momentary type switch (such as the optional FS-5U).

Normal

The normal state is Off (minimum value), with the switch On (maximum value) only while the foot switch is depressed.

Toggle

The setting is toggled On (maximum value) or Off (minimum value) with each press of the foot switch.

*Set this to “Normal” when a latch-type foot switch (such as the optional FS-5L) is connected, or when selecting something other than a foot switch as the controller.

Active Range

fig.06-110d

This sets the operational range within which the value of the setting changes when an expression pedal or other controller that changes the value consecutively is used as the source. If the controller is moved outside the operational range, the value does not change, it stops at “minimum” or “maximum.”

(Example)

With Act. Range Lo: 40, Act. Range Hi: 80

*When using a foot switch or other on/off switching controller as the source, leave these at “Lo: 0” and “Hi: 127.” With certain settings, the value may not change.
