Using a footswitch for punching in/out
You can also use an optional footswitch for
starting and stopping recording. That has
the advantage that you can use both hands
for playing (or the left hand for D Beam/
Pitch Bend/Modulation effects and the
right for playing the melody.)
(1) Connect an optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS
FS-5U footswitch to the FOOTSWITCH/
EXPR socket on the EM-55 OR’s rear
panel.

[TEMPO/DATA] dial to the left to select
the following function:
(Steps (2) and (3) are a short-cut for quickly
selecting the desired function.)
(4) Wait until the VALUE message in the top
left-hand corner starts flashing, then use
the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to select Punch
I/O.
(5) Press [ REC] to return to the recording
function.
(6) Continue with step (2) under “Punch I/O”.
In steps (6) and (8), press the footswitch
(rather than the [ REC] button).
Playback functions
The [INTRO], [ORIGINAL], etc. buttons have two functions: one in Style mode (printed above the buttons),
and another one in Song mode (printed below the buttons).
Selecting the Song mode
The Style/Song control buttons have two
functions: they can be used for selecting
Music Style patterns (when the
[ARRANGER] indicator lights), or for Song
navigation (when the [SONG] indicator
lights).
To select the Song mode (and the Song con-
trol functions), you need to press the
[SONG] button. Only then will the follow-
ing functions be available.
