S90 ES
Breath Controller
You can connect an optional Breath Controller (BC3) to the BREATH jack on the rear panel, and use it to control various
parameters on this instrument—particularly those controlled by a wind player's breath, including dynamics, timbre, pitch
and so on. The Breath Controller is ideally suited for realistic expression with wind instrument Voices.
Footswitch (assignable)
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch connected to the rear panel FOOT SWITCH ASSIGNABLE jack can be
assigned to a range of parameters. It is suited for switch-type (on/off) controls, such as Portamento Switch, increment/
decrement of a Voice or Performance Number, start/stop of the Sequencer, and holding the Arpeggio on or off.
Footswitch (sustain)
An optional FC3, FC4 or FC5 Footswitch connected to the SUSTAIN jack on the rear panel lets you control sustain. When you
press the damper pedal, the notes you play have a longer sustain. The S90 ES also provides a special Half Damper function
for finer control over sustain.
