The OASYS will automatically sense when a half-
damper is connected to the rear-panel DAMPER input.
For proper operation, you will also need to calibrate
the pedal, using the Calibrate Half-Damper command
in the Global page menu.
The off and full-on positions of the half-damper work
just like a standard footswitch. In conjunction with the
Enable Half-Damper parameter, below, intermediate
positions allow a graduated control of sustain, similar
to the damper pedal of an acoustic piano.
Enable Half-Damper [On, Off]
When this is On (checked), Half-Damper pedals,
normal sustain pedals, and MIDI CC# 64 will all
modulate the Amp EG, as described below.
When this is Off (un-checked), the pedals and MIDI
CC#64 will still hold notes as usual, but will not
modulate the Amp EG.
Half-Damper Pedal and Release Time
The amount of modulation depends on whether the
Amp EG Sustain Level is set to 0 (as is the case with
most acoustic piano sounds), or set to 1 or more. The
modulation is continuous, from 1x (no change) to 55
times longer; the table below shows a selection of
representative points.

4–1: Page Menu Commands
The number before each command shows its ENTER +
number-key shortcut. For more information on these
shortcuts, see “ENTER + 0-9: shortcuts for menu
commands” on page 138.
0: Write Program. For more information, see “Write
Program” on page 138.
1: Exclusive Solo. For more information, see
“Exclusive Solo” on page 138.
2: Copy EXi Oscillator. For more information, see
“Copy EXi Oscillator” on page 169.
4–2: EXi Audio Input
These parameters let you route audio into EXi
instruments which support audio input, such as the
STR-1. You can use this to create feedback loops, or to
process live or recorded audio through the EXi’s
synthesis engine.
EXi which do not support audio input will ignore these
settings.
For more information on using audio inputs with the
STR-1, see “4-8c: Feedback” on page 257.
You can override these settings, if desired, in
Combination and Sequencer modes. For more
information, see “2–6: EXi Audio Input” on page 367
(Combi mode), and “2-6: EXi Audio Input” on
page 475 (Sequencer mode).
