Footswitch Functions
Category Function Description
Voice Articulation1 When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the
Footswitch for the selected part, you can enable the effect by pressing the
Footswitch.
Articulation2
Sustain Controls the sustain. When you press and hold the Footswitch, all notes
played on the selected parts have a longer sustain. Releasing the
Footswitch immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. The sustain
level can be set in the “Common1” page of the “Voice Edit” display
(page 12), and you can confirm the level for each part in the display called
up via the [VOICE EFFECT] button.
Pedal Sustain Controls the sustain. When you press and hold the Footswitch, all notes
played on the selected parts have a longer sustain determined by how
strongly you press the Footswitch. Releasing the Footswitch immediately
stops (damps) any sustained notes.
Sostenuto Controls the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on the selected
part and press the Footswitch while holding the note(s), the notes will
sustain as long as the Footswitch is held. However, all subsequent notes
will not sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example,
while other notes are played staccato.
NOTE This function does not affect any of the Organ Flutes Voices nor some of the Super Articulation
Voices.
Soft Controls the Soft effect. Pressing the Footswitch reduces the volume and
changes the timbre of the notes you play on the selected part. This is
effective only for certain appropriate Voices.
Glide Up When the Footswitch is pressed, the pitch changes (up or down), and then
returns to normal pitch when the Footswitch is released. You can set the
range for each part in the pop-up window called up via the [1]/[2] (Detail
Settings) buttons. The range is from “0” to “12,” with each step
corresponding to one semitone. The speed of the pitch change when the
controller is pressed (On Speed), and when the controller is released (Off
Speed) can also be set in the window.
Glide Down
Portamento The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced
while the Footswitch is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are
played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still
held) on the selected part. The portamento time can also be adjusted from
the “Common2” page of the “Voice Edit” display (page 13).
NOTE This function affects only certain Voices, especially synth lead and some bass Voices. It will not affect
any of the Organ Flutes, and only some of the Super Articulation Voices, even if the function has been
assigned to the Footswitch.
Modulation Sw Applies vibrato and other effects to notes played with the selected part.
Modulation Alt This is a slight variation on “Modulation Sw” above, in which the effects
(waveform) can be alternately turned on/off.
Organ Rotary Slow/
Fast
Switches the Rotary Speaker speed between “Slow” and “Fast.” This can
be used only when a DSP type (page 80) which contains “Rotary” or “Rot”
is applied to the selected part.
NOTE Since the Super Articulation Voices contain the effect as part of the wave data, you need to assign
Articulation 1 or 2 (not Organ Rotary Slow/Fast) to control the effect.
