Connecting Audio Devices

Using the Footswitch or Foot Controller (3 [FOOT PEDAL 1/2] jacks)

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 instrument (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 exam- ple, letting you use the footswitch to start/stop Style playback, or use the foot controller to produce pitch bends.

1 Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION] → [D] CONTROLLER → TAB [√][®]

FOOT PEDAL

2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select one of the two foot pedals to which the function is to be assigned.

3 Use the [1π†] button to select the functions to be assigned to the pedal specified in step 2. Details on the pedal functions are listed below.

4 Use the [2π†]–[8π†] buttons to set the details of the selected functions.

The available parameters differ depending on the function selected in step 3. Details on the parameters are given on page 169.

5 Check that the desired function is controllable with the pedal by actually pressing the pedal.

nWhen you use the pedals to switch Registration Memory settings (page 134), these settings are invalid.

Set the polarity of the pedal

Pedal on/off operation may differ depending on the particular pedal you’ve connected to the instrument. For exam- ple, pressing down on one pedal may turn the selected function on, while pressing a different make/brand of pedal may turn the function off. If necessary, use this setting to reverse the control. Press the [I] (PEDAL POLAR- ITY) button to switch the polarity.
