This parameter determines whether a reminder message is shown during boot up of the
Artis, reminding you that the Artis will power off after a period of inactivity. By default
this setting is set to Show, and the other option is to Skip. If Auto Power Off (page 9-5) is
set to Disable, then this parameter has no effect, and no message is shown during the boot
cycle.

Pedal Noise

Some piano Programs have a Pedal Noise feature programmed into the sound. This
parameter allows you to turn the Pedal Noise off if you prefer not to use it. If it is on, it
will only activate noise on those Programs that have been programmed to use it.

Pedal Switch Overrides

The Pedal SW Overrides allow the default controller assignments for the Switch Pedals to
be changed. This applies both to Programs and to the default behaviour of the Multis. The
alternative controllers available for the Pedal Switch Overrides include the standard Pedal
controls of Sustain, Sostenuto and Soft and also includes performance orientated controls
of DataInc, DataDec, FavoriteInc and FavoriteDec, which can be used to change Programs,
Multis or Favorites, from a Foot Switch.
When using FavoriteInc and FavoriteDec, if you are playing a Favorite, when you depress
the Pedal, the next Favorite will be loaded, with the last Favorite wrapping back around to
the first favorite. If you are not playing any Favorites, the Pedal will load the first Favorite.
Pedal Switch Overrides are available for all four of the possible Pedal Switches. If a Pedal
has a Global Pedal Override different from None, then in Multi Edit Mode, the Destination
of the Pedal will be shown in parenthesis. Also, in Multi Mode a Pedal Switch Override will
automatically set the Pedal Mode to Momenatary, and the OnVal and OffVal to 127 and 0
respectively.
In Multi Edit Mode, setting a Pedal Destination to "None" will disable the override for that
Pedal in the selected Zone. It can be useful in Multi Mode to disable the Pedal Override for
some Zones. For example, you may want to use a Pedal Override to control Sustain in all
Zones of a Multi, but disable Sustain for one Zone containing an organ Program.
When a Pedal Switch Override is set to Sustain, Sostenuto or Soft, the Pedal type will
automatically be set to Momentary. When set to DataInc, DataDec, FavoriteInc or
FavoriteDec the Pedal Type will be set to Toggle.
