Knobs [A]/[B]/[C]/[1]/[2]
In Voice/Performance Play Mode, Knobs [A], [B],
[C], [1] and [2] can be used as real-time
controllers. Knobs [A], [B] and [C] are assigned to
control the equalizer gain of, respectively, EQ
Low, EQ Mid and EQ Hi. With Knobs [1] and [2],
you are free to assign different parameters per
Voice.
If you turn any knob clockwise, the value
assigned to it is incremented. Conversely, the
value is decremented if you turn it the other way.
Common system parameters are assigned to Knobs
[A],[B] and [C] (Pages 41, 129). Voice-specific
parameters are assigned to Knobs [1] and [2] (Pages
42, 69).
A preset of suitable parameter settings is assigned
to each Voice. By using each knobs [1] and [2], you
are in effect adjusting these settings by a certain
amount. If these parameters are already preset at
their minimum or maximum settings, the settings
cannot be exceeded.
In any Edit Mode, Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2] are
used for entering parameter settings on screen (Page
19).
Control Sliders
In Performance Mode, if Master Keyboard Mode
is enabled, you can use the four Control Sliders
to control the functions assigned to each zone.
Details are given on Pages 56 and 122.

Foot Controller
An optional Foot Controller (such as the FC7),
connected to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack
(Page 13) on the rear panel, can be assigned a
number of controller parameters. By using a foot
controller for parameter control, both your hands
are left free to play the keyboard (or to operate
other controllers). This is very convenient if you
are playing live.
Foot Controller parameters can be set for each
Voice.
Foot Switch
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch
connected to the rear panel FOOT SWITCH jack
(Page 13) can be assigned to a range of
parameters. It is suited for a switch-type
(on/off) controls such as Portamento Switch,
increment/decrement of a Voice or Performance
Number, start/stop of the Sequencer, holding
Arpeggiator on or off. The Foot Switch is not
well suited for continuous control. You could
also use it to switch to between different Voices
or Performances
The parameter assigned to the Foot Switch is set in
the CTRL Other screen of Utility Mode (Pages 43,
129).
