External Trigger Settings
(EXT TRIG)
1. While holding down the [SHIFT] button, press [EDIT].
2. Press the [ ] until you see <EXT TRIG> (external
trigger).

Foot Switch
4. Press the [ ] and when you see this screen, use the
[+]/[-] button and select "FOOTSW."
Optional foot switches can be used for triggering sounds and
for performing various other functions.
You can use either a single foot switch, (DP-2 etc.) or 2 FS-5Us
(Boss) which will need to be connected with an optional PCS-
31L cable (insert cable). When using 2 foot switches, each one
can have its own individual functions, in addition of course, to
also triggering sounds. Assigning sounds to the foot switches
works exactly like assigning a sound to one of the on-board
pads, as explained on page 9.
When you step on a foot switch, you will see its relative number
(1 or 2) appear at the bottom of the display.
5. Press the [ ] and you will see:
Depending on the foot switch you are using, you may
need to change this parameter. For example, if when you
step on the switch, and you only hear the sound when you
take your foot off, then you should change the polarity.
Some foot switches (ex:FS-5U) have polarity switching
possibilities.
6. Press the [ ] and you will see:
Range: 1–127
As a foot switch can not respond to playing dynamics, this
is an important setting.
