Foot Switch Assign
Selects the function that will be controlled by a pedal switch
(such as the optional Korg PS-1) connected to the
ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack.
For a complete list of possible assignments, please see "Foot
Switch Assignments" on page 384.
Foot Pedal Assign
Selects the function that will be controlled by a foot volume
pedal (XVP-10 or EXP-2 option [sold separately]) connected
to the ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack.
For a complete list of possible assignments, please see "Foot
Pedal Assignments" on page 385.
Damper Polarity
Set this to match the polarity of the damper pedal connected
to the DAMPER jack. If the polarity does not match,
operating the damper pedal will not produce the correct
result. If no damper pedal is connected, set this to (–) KORG
Standard.
(–) KORG Standard: Use this setting for "open-type"
damper pedals, such as the optional Korg DS–1H.
(+): Use this setting for "closed-type" pedals.
Foot Switch Polarity
Set this to match the polarity of the footswitch connected to
the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack. If the polarity does not
match, operating the damper pedal will not produce the
correct result. If no damper pedal is connected, set this to (–)
KORG Standard.
(–) KORG Standard: Use this setting for "open-type"
footswitches, such as the optional Korg PS–1.
(+): Use this setting for "closed-type" pedals.

Using a footswitch to select Programs
You can select programs by using a foot switch connected to
the ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack. By assigning the
appropriate function, you can increment or decrement the
program number in steps of one.
This lets you change Programs without using your hands–
great for quick Program changes in live performance
situations.
There are two ways of doing this: by assigning the
footswitch to Program Up/Down, or to Value Inc/Dec. Each
of these is suited to a particular application, as described
below.
Assigning the footswitch to Program Up/Down
Assigning the footswitch to Program Up or Program Down
lets you directly control Program changes from the
footswitch. For most situations, this is the more
straightforward method.
To set this up:
1. Connect a foot switch to the rear-panel ASSIGNABLE
SWITCH input.
Use an optional PS-1 pedal switch.
2. Access the Global P2: Controllers– Foot Controllers
page.
Proceed as follows.
3. Press the MODE GLOBAL switch to enter Global
mode.
Press the PAGE SELECT switch to access GLOBAL Page
Select. Press P2 Controllers, then press the Foot Control tab
in the display.
4. Set "Foot Switch Assign" to either Program Up or Pro-
gram Down.
If you choose Program Up, the next higher program number
will be selected each time you press the foot switch.
If you choose Program Down, the next lower program
number will be selected each time you press the foot switch.
5. Set the "Foot Switch Polarity" to match the polarity of
the pedal you've connected.
If you've connected the optional PS-1 pedal, choose (–)
KORG Standard.
Now, the foot switch will step through the Programs, one by
one.
6. If you want to preserve this setting even when the
power is turned off, be sure to Write. (See OM p.89)
7. Press the PROG switch to enter Prog P0: Play, and press
the foot switch to change the Program.
Note: This setting applies to selecting Combinations, as well.
