Pedal-controllable Functions
* For best results, use the optional Yamaha FC7 Foot Controller.
The parameters below correspond to buttons [2▲▼] - [8▲▼], and their availability depends on the selected control Type. For example, if
SUSTAIN is selected as the Type, the parameters “HALF PEDAL POINT”, “MAIN”, “LAYER” and “LEFT” automatically appear in the display.
* For best results, use the optional Yamaha FC7 Foot Controller.
VOLUME* Allows you to use a foot controller (FOOT PEDAL 2 only) to control the volume.
SUSTAIN When the pedal is pressed notes played have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any
sustained notes.
SOSTENUTO If you press and hold the pedal here, only the first note will be sustained (the note that you played and held when
pressing the pedal). This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.
SOFT Pressing the pedal subtly reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played. It only applies to
certain voices — PIANO, for example.
GLIDE When the pedal is pressed the pitch changes, and then back to normal pitch when the pedal is released.
PORTAMENTO The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal is pressed. Portamento is
produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held). The
portamento time can be set via the Mixing Console display (page 114).
PITCHBEND*
Bend notes up or down while pedal is pressed (FOOT PEDAL 2 only). Same as the PITCH BEND wheel.
MODULATION* Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. The depth of the effect increases while pedal is pressed
(FOOT PEDAL 2 only)
. Same as the MODULATION wheel.
DSP VARIATION Same as the [VARIATION] button.
HARMONY/ECHO Same as the [HARMONY/ECHO] button.
SONG START/STOP Same as the SONG [START/STOP] button.

ENDING Same as the [ENDING/rit.] button.

FING/ON BASS The pedal alternately switches between the Fingered and On Bass modes (page 59).
BASS HOLD While the pedal is pressed, the Accompaniment Style bass note will be held even if the chord is changed. If the
fingering is set to “FULL KEYBOARD,” the function does not work.
PERCUSSION The pedal plays a percussion instrument selected by the [4▲▼] - [8▲▼] buttons. You can use the keyboard to
select the desired percussion instrument.
MAIN ON/OFF Same as the [MAIN] button.
LAYER ON/OFF Same as the [LAYER] button.
LEFT ON/OFF Same as the [LEFT] button.
SONG, STYLE, LEFT, LAYER,

These specify the part(s) that will be affected by the pedal.

for certain kinds of pedals, such as the foot pedal (YAMAHA FC7) (FOOT PEDAL 2 only).

ON SPEED When GLIDE is selected, this determines the speed of the pitch change, when the pedal is pressed.
