Hold Footswitch (Sustain)
Also called “Sustain” or “Damper” pedal, the footswitch
you connect to the PEDAL HOLD socket allows you to
hold the notes you play on the keyboard in much the
same way as on an acoustic piano. Though you cannot
assign other functions to this footswitch, you can
decide when a given part should respond to these mes-
sages.
The Hold function is available for the following parts:
UP1/2/3, LW1/2 and M.Bass, on condition that you
select WHOLE keyboard mode. In SPLIT mode, the sus-
tain pedal’s Hold function only works for the right-
most part. When UP1/2/3 are layered, the Hold effect
applies to those Upper parts. (This applies to the “Auto”
setting.)
You can also specify whether or not the Melody Intelli-
gence function (MELODY INTELL) should respond to
Hold messages.
Note: Do not forget to connect an optional DP-2, DP-6 or BOSS
FS-5U footswitch to the HOLD FOOTSWITCH socket.

The display changes to:

(3) Use the PART fields to select the Keyboard part
whose HOLD setting you want to change.
(4) Use the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] but-
tons to select the function (“Hold Assign”).
“Auto” means that the part in question only responds
to Hold messages if it is assigned to the right half
(SPLIT) or the entire keyboard (WHOLE). “On” means
