5Using the Footswitch or

Foot Controller

([FOOT PEDAL] jack)

Two FOOT PEDAL jacks can be used via the following
functions at the initial default setting (factory setting).
• FOOT PEDAL 1 jack
Plug an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into
this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. The
footswitch functions like the damper pedal on a piano
— press for sustain, release for normal sound.
• FOOT PEDAL 2 jack
Plug an optional Yamaha FC7 foot controller into this
jack and use it to change the volume as you play the
PSR-3000/1500 (expression function).

Assigning Specific Functions to Each

Foot Pedal

The functions assigned by default to the connected foot-
switch or foot controller can be changed—for example,
letting you use the footswitch to start/stop Style play-
back, or use the foot controller to produce pitch bends.
