Footswitch2
This determines the functions of footswitches plugged into the rear-panel FOOT PEDAL
SWITCH 1 and FOOT PEDAL SWITCH 2 jacks, and to which of the 9000Pro voices the foot-
switches will apply.
Functions controlled by the footswitch
SUSTAIN Standard sustain footswitch operation. When the footswitch is pressed notes played have a long sustain.
Releasing the footswitch immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
SOSTENUTO If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the footswitch while the note(s) are held, those notes
will be sustained as long as the footswitch is held (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subse-
quently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while
other notes are played staccato.
SOFT * Pressing the footswitch subtly reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played. The
SOFT effect only applies to certain voices PIANO, for example.
GLIDE ** When the pedal is pressed the pitch drops a semitone, and then glides smoothly back to normal pitch when
the pedal is released.
PORTAMENTO The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal is pressed. Porta-
mento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still
held). The portamento time can be set via the Mixing Console display (page 145).
