Controlling Parameters by Foot Controller

By connecting an optional Foot Controller (such as the FC7) to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack on the rear panel of the synthesizer, you can control various parameters by foot without having to use your hands. In the following example, we introduce how to set up Foot Controller to work as Modulation Wheel.

In Voice Mode, the foot controller can now be used to control the same function as that assigned to the Modulation Wheel.

If the current Voice has a Control Set with a source (Src) assigned to Modulation Wheel (MW) and receives a Control Change message of Modulation Wheel, a destination (Dest) parameter for the source (MW) will be affected with that message.

The above procedure explains how to set up the Foot Control to control Modulation in Voice Mode. To create such a setup for Performance Mode, the appropriate settings are found at the CTL Assign2 screen in Performance Edit Mode.

Switching Between Programs by Foot Switch

By connecting an optional Foot Switch (such as the FC4 or FC5) to the FOOT SWITCH jack on the rear panel of the synthesizer, you can switch between Programs without having to use your hands. For example, if you consecutively arrange the Voices/Performances in memory, you can switch between them easily in a live performance. The following procedure explains exactly how to a about this.
