(3) The cursor will appear under the currently selected
parameter. Use the Aand Ykeys to select the
parameter you wish to control. All parameters for the
currently selected effects are available. "Cmp-THR," for
example, refers to the compressor threshold level
parameter. Dst-LPF is the distortion low-pass filter
frequency parameter, etc. The individual parameters
are described in detail in the "7. The Parameter Mode
Editing the Effect Programs" section beginning on paj
11. In addition to the standard effect parameters, the
following two parameters are available:
• VOLUME:
assigns the controller to a special volumt
control stage located immediately after th
EQ stage.
• CURSOR: Allows the assigned controller to control
the position of the cursor in the parameter
mode, facilitating selection of parameters
for editing.
NOTE:
Control change reception is disabled while
parameters are being selected.
© Press the SEL/ASN key to move the cursor to the MIN
and then to the MAX position, using the Aand
Y
keys
at each position to set the desired control range. Both
MIN and MAX have a possible value range of 0 to
100%. For example, if the original range for DIST-LVL
is -41 to 6 (dB), then setting MIN and MAX to 10 and
90 (%), respectively, produces a control range from -36
to +1 (dB).
© To assign CONTROLLER 2 to an effect parameter,
press the SEL/ASN key again, causing a the
CONTROLLER 2 display to appear.
OQ CTRL2 MIN-MAX
Dly:MIX 0 100
NOTE:
If the same parameter is assigned to CTRL 1 and
CTRL 2, CTRL 1 takes priority.
© Carry out steps ©and ©above to assign a parameter
to controller 2.
© When finished with controller assignment, press any of
the effect keys (COMP, DIST, EQ, MOD or REV) to
return to the normal parameter editing mode, or press
the MEMORY key to return to the MEMORY mode.
© As with all other parameters, individual control
assignments can be stored with each program by
pressing the STORE key.

Footswitch Function Select
Footswitch Function Select determines the function of an
optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch connected to the
FX500's rear-panel MEMORY IN/DEC TRIGGER jack. The
LCD display will appear as below, and the Aand Ykeys
can be used to select the desired footswitch function.

TAP TEMPO DELAY
TAP TEMPO DELAY is a function which allows delay time
to be controlled by tapping the footswitch in time with the
music (see "Using Tap Tempo Delay," below). When
MEMORY INC/DEC is selected, the footswitch can be
used to recall a range of effect programs specified by the
Footswitch Memory Recall Range Edit function, described
below.
• Using Tap Tempo Delay
When the TAP TEMPO DELAY footswitch function is
selected, and the REVERB stage Dly, Ech, R+D, D -♦ R or
R -»D effect is selected, the footswitch connected to the
MEMORY INC/DEC jack can be used to set the time of the
L-DLY parameter. Simply tap the footswitch twice at the
appropriate interval. The time between "taps" sets the time
between delays.The time of the R-DLY parameter is
changed by the same amount as the L-DLY time. By tapping
in time with the music you are playing, this function makes it
simple to accurately match the delay time to tempo.
CAUTION:
If either the L-DLY or R-DLY parameter is set
to its maximum or minimum value, the TAP
TEMPO DELAY function cannot be used to
create longer or shorter delays.
