Using a Sustain Footswitch

This feature lets you use the included footswitch

(Yamaha FC-5) or an optional footswitch (Yamaha

FC-4) to sustain the sound of the keyboard voice.

This is used in the same way as a damper pedal on

an acoustic piano – press and hold down the

footswitch as you play the keyboard to sustain the

sound.

nMake sure that the footswitch plug is properly

connected to the DAMPER jack before turning on

the power.

nDo not press the footswitch while turning the

power on. Doing this changes the recognized

polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed

footswitch operation.

Using the MIDI Terminals

The YPR-50 also features MIDI terminals, allowing

you to interface the YPR-50 with other MIDI

instruments and devices. (For more information, see

page 28.)

Music Stand

Insert the bottom pins of the included music stand

into the holes located at the center of the YPR-50

control panel.
