Foot Switch
An optional DP-2, DP-6 or BOSS FS-5U footswitch con-
nected to the PEDAL SWITCH socket can be used to per-
form various functions. If you do not change the fac-
tory setting, this footswitch allows you to start and
stop Arranger playback.
The default setting is “Start/Stop”, which allows you to
start and stop Arranger playback. Note also the Soft
and Sostenuto options as well as the possibility to
select one of several Hold functions. The footswitch can
only perform one function at a time, though.
(1) Press the [MENU] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [FOOT¥CONTROLLER] field, followed by
the [FOOT¥SWITCH] field.
(3) Press the field that corresponds to the function
you wish to assign to the footswitch.
If necessary, use the [PAGE¥1]~[PAGE¥3] fields to go
to another page.
● Start/Stop—Starts and stops Arranger playback. Same
function as the [START÷STOP] button.
● Play/Stop—Starts and stops the Recorder and 16-track
sequencer. Same function as the [PLAY÷STOP¥®÷ª] but-
ton.
● Intro—Selects the Intro of the current Variation level
(1~4) during Arranger playback. Same function as
[INTRO].
● Ending—Selects the Ending of the current Variation
level (1~4) during Arranger playback.
● Variat 1~4—The footswitch can be used to switch to the
VARIATION level you select here. That Music Style pat-
tern is used from the next downbeat onward.
● Bass Inversion—Allows you to switch the Bass Inversion
function on and off (page 83).
● Arr/M.Bass—Allows you to set the Arranger Chord
parameter to “Off” (chord recognition plus ABS recogni-
tion off, see p. 88) and, at the same time, activate the
KBD MODE [SPLIT] button and the MBS part – and vice
versa.
● Piano/Standard—You can alternate between Standard
and Piano Style Arranger Chord modes. When the
former is selected, the chord recognition area (page 89)
is automatically set to “LEFT”. When you switch to Piano
Style, the chord recognition area is automatically set to
“WHOLE”. Furthermore, the KBD MODE [WHOLE] button
is switched on and the Upper 1 part is activated (if it was
off).
● Half Bar on Fill In—The footswitch allows you to switch
the Half Bar function on and off. Certain pop songs in 4/
4 contain bars that only last two beats. The usual place
for such a bar is between the first and the second verse.
This does not change Style playback right away. Only
when a Fill-In starts will the Half Bar function be acti-
vated and play half the number of beats of the fill you
selected.
● Arranger Hold—Allows you to switch the Arranger Hold
function on and off. See p. 89.
● Dynamic Arranger—Allows you to switch the Dynamic
Arranger function on and off. See page 89 for details.
● Rotary HB S/F—Allows you to select the slow or fast
speed of the Rotary effect. This only works if the Har-
monic Bars are being used by UP1, LW1 and/or MBS.
● Rotary HB On/Off—Allows you to switch the Rotary
effect on (first time) and off (second). This only works if
the Harmonic Bars are being used by UP1, LW1 and/or
MBS.
● Scale Upper—Allows you to assign the selected Scale
Tune (see p. 79) setting to the three Upper parts.
● Scale Lower—Allows you to assign the selected Scale
Tune (see p. 79) setting to the Lower parts.
● Arr Chord Off—Allows you to switch the Arranger’s
chord recognition off, in which case only the drum/per-
cussion of the selected Music Style keeps playing (or can
be used). See also (page 88).
● User Prg Up, User Prg Down—Allows you to select the
next (“Up”) or previous (“Down”) User Program.
● Punch In/Out—The footswitch can be used to activate
and switch off punch in/out recording using the E-80’s
sequencer (page 176).
