Using the Pedals

FC4
Sustain Pedal (Sustain Pedal jack)
This jack is for connecting the included foot switch FC4. The pedal functions in the
same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Connect the included foot switch
FC4 to this jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound.
When "Damper Resonance" is on, the instrument simulates the sustain sound that
occurs when you press the damper pedal of a grand piano, as you press the damper
pedal and play the keyboard.
An optional FC3 foot pedal or FC5 foot switch can also be connected to this jack. For
the FC3, the further down the pedal is pressed, the longer the sound will be sustained.
(It can be used like a half pedal effect).
• The depth of the effect produced by the Sustain Samples can be adjusted via the Pedal func-
tions (pages 39, 43) in Function.
AUX Pedal (AUX Pedal jack)
This jack is for connecting an optional FC3 foot pedal, FC5 foot switch or FC7 foot
controller. An included foot switch FC4 can also be connected to this jack. A wide
range of functions, including the Soft Pedal function, can be assigned to this jack. For
instructions on assigning the pedal, refer to pages 39, 43.
• The FC7 Foot Controller can be used to control Expression (pages 39, 43).
