EM-55 Owner’s Manual

Using a footswitch for punching in/out

You can also use an optional footswitch for starting and stopping recording. That has the advantage that you can use both hands for playing (or the left hand for D Beam/ Pitch Bend/Modulation effects and the right for playing the melody.)

(1)Connect an optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch to the FOOTSWITCH/ EXPR socket on the EM-55’s rear panel.

(2)Press and hold [FUNCTION] while pressing BANK/NUMBER [3].

By doing so, you jump to the PAD function (see also p. 22).

(3)Press [FUNCTION] again and turn the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to the left to select the following function:

VALUE Sustain

(Steps (2) and (3) are a short-cut for quickly selecting the desired function.)

(4)Wait until the VALUE message in the top

left-hand corner starts flashing, then use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to select Punch I/O.

(5)Press [● REC] to return to the recording function.

(6)Continue with step (2) under “Punch I/O”. In steps (6) and (8), press the footswitch (rather than the [● REC] button).

ENGLISH

Playback functions

The [INTRO], [ORIGINAL], etc. buttons have two functions: one in Style mode (printed above the buttons), and another one in Song mode (printed below the buttons).

Selecting the Song mode

The Style/Song control buttons have two functions: they can be used for selecting Music Style patterns (when the [ARRANGER] indicator lights), or for Song navigation (when the [SONG] indicator lights).

To select the Song mode (and the Song con- trol functions), you need to press the [SONG] button. Only then will the follow- ing functions be available.
