Description
Damper pedal or sustain operation. Pressing the footswitch applies a natural
sustain to the keyboard-played voice.
When the Arpeggiator effect (page 37) is turned on, this lets you use the
footswitch to keep the Arpeggiator cycling, even when you take your fingers
from the keyboard or play different notes. Press and hold the footswitch for as
long as you want the Arpeggiator effect to be active.
When the Song mode or Style mode is active, this provides the same function
as the START/STOP button (see pages 41, 45). Each press of the footswitch
alternately starts and stops song or pattern playback.
When the Style mode is active, this provides the same function as the LEAD IN/
LEAD OUT button (see pages 46, 47). Pressing the footswitch twice while the
Pattern is playing back causes the Lead Out section to gradually slow down
(page 47).
When the Style mode is active, this provides the same function as the BEAT A
(BREAK OUT) button (see page 48).
When the Style mode is active, this provides the same function as the BEAT B
(BREAK OUT) button (see page 48).
When the Style mode is active, this provides the same function as the
ARPEGGIATOR button (and the Arpeggiator On/Off parameter, #37). (See page
37.)
This provides the same function as the DUAL button (and the Dual On/Off
parameter, #18). (See page 29.)
This provides the same function as the Split On/Off parameter, #28. (See page
31.)
This provides the same function as the REVERB button (and the Reverb On/Off
parameter, #31). (See page 34.)
This provides the same function as the Chorus On/Off parameter, #33. (See
page 35.)
This provides the same function as the DSP On/Off parameter, #35. (See page
36.)
This useful function lets you use the footswitch to tap out the BPM (Tempo) and
automatically start a selected song or pattern at that tapped speed. Simply tap
(press/release) the footswitch (four times for a 4/4 time signature), and the
song or pattern starts automatically at the BPM you tapped. The BPM can also
be changed during playback by tapping the footswitch twice at the desired
tempo.
Footswitch Function List
Assignment of the footswitch is done from Function parameter #71. (For instructions on using
the Function parameters, see page 18.) The default setting for the footswitch is #13 Tap.
