Using the Expression Pedal
Operating the built-in expression pedal sends the value (0 (00h) to 127 (7Fh)) for Controller Number
7 (“main volume”).
* You can change the value of the controller numbers. See “Controller Number Setting for
Expression Pedal” (p. 21).
Using the Foot Switch/Expression Pedal Jacks
When you connect separately available foot pedals or expression pedals to these jacks, you can
use the connected pedals to send the Control Change messages for the controller numbers assigned
to each of the jacks.
Shown below are the controller numbers that you can set for the jacks.
#17
#16
#64 #10
#11 #1
* You can change the value of the controller numbers. See “Controller Number Settings” (p. 25).
* You can use the connected pedal switches to send Realtime messages and MMC (MIDI Machine
Control) messages. For details, see “ABOUT REALTIME MESSAGES AND MMC MESSAGES” (p.
29).
As shown below, the content and timing of the messages that are sent vary depending on what kind
of equipment is hooked up. Choose the equipment to connect according to what you want to do.
When a BOSS FS-5L Foot Pedal is Connected:
Pressing the pedal sends an ON 127 (7Fh) message, and pressing it again sends an OFF 0 (00h)
message. The indicator for the pedal lights up when on.
* This works just the same as a latch type Control pedal.
When a BOSS FS-5U Foot Pedal is Connected:
The pedal sends an ON 127 (7Fh) message when depressed and an OFF 0 (00h) message when
released.
* This works just the same as a momentary type Control pedal.
When a Roland EV-5 Expression Pedal is Connected:
Operating the pedal sends data from 0 (00h) to 127 (7Fh) continuously, depending on the pedal’s
function.
