Knobs [A]/[B]/[C]/[1]/[2]
In Voice/Performance Play Mode, Knobs [A], [B],
[C], [1] and [2] can be used as real-time controllers.
Knobs [A], [B] and [C] are assigned to control the
equalizer gain of, respectively, EQ Low, EQ Mid
and EQ Hi. With Knobs [1] and [2], you are free to
assign different parameters per Voice.
If you turn any knob clockwise, the value assigned
to it is incremented. Conversely, the value is
decremented if you turn it the other way.
Common system parameters are assigned to Knobs
[A],[B] and [C] (Pages 46, 136). Voice-specific
parameters are assigned to Knobs [1] and [2] (Pages
47, 74).
A preset of suitable parameter settings is assigned to
each Voice. By using each knobs [1] and [2], you are
in effect adjusting these settings by a certain
amount. If these parameters are already preset at
their minimum or maximum settings, the settings
cannot be exceeded.
In any Edit Mode, Knobs [A], [B], [C], [1] and [2] are
used for entering parameter settings on screen (Page 24).
Control Sliders
In Performance Mode, if Master Keyboard Mode is
enabled, you can use the four Control Sliders to
control the functions assigned to each zone.
Details are given on Pages 61 and 129.

Foot Controller
An optional Foot Controller (such as the FC7),
connected to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack
(Page 18) on the rear panel, can be assigned a
number of controller parameters. By using a foot
controller for parameter control, both your hands
are left free to play the keyboard (or to operate
other controllers). This is very convenient if you
are playing live.
Foot Controller parameters can be set for each Voice.
Foot Switch
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch
connected to the rear panel FOOT SWITCH jack
(Page 18) can be assigned to a range of
parameters. It is suited for a switch-type (on/off)
controls such as Portamento Switch,
increment/decrement of a Voice or Performance
Number, start/stop of the Sequencer, holding
Arpeggiator on or off. The Foot Switch is not
well suited for continuous control. You could also
use it to switch to between different Voices or
Performances
The parameter assigned to the Foot Switch is set in the
CTRL Other screen of Utility Mode (Pages 48, 136).
Sustain
With an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch
connected to the SUSTAIN jack (Page 18) on the
rear panel. This is useful when playing piano-
type sounds.
You cannot assign a function other than Sustain to
the SUSTAIN jack.
Foot Volume
Connect an optional Foot Controller (such as the
FC7) to the FOOT VOLUME jack of the rear
panel (Page 18). You can then use your foot to
control Main Volume or Expression parameters,
leaving your hands free to play the keyboard. This
is very useful if you are playing live.
The parameter assigned to the Foot Volume
controller is set in the CTRL Other screen of Utility
Mode (Page 136).
Breath Controller
You can connect an optional Breath Controller
(BC3) to the BREATH jack (Page 18) on the rear
panel . Then use it to control a large number of
the synthesizer’s parameters, particularly those
controlled by a wind player’s breath: dynamics,
timbre, pitch and so on. The Breath Controller is
ideally suited for realistic expression with wind
instrument type Voices.
Breath Controller parameters can be set for each
Voice.
