Chapter 4 Controlling the Styles with a Foot Switch

You can use a foot switch (such as the optional FS-5U) to start and
stop performances and switch verses (p. 44). This is convenient, as
it allows you to switch the Patterns with your foot.
You can connect up to two foot switches.
When using the special cable (PCS-31), the foot switch connected
with the white-striped plug is used to start and stop
performances, and the foot switch connected with the red-striped
plug is used to switch verses (as set at the factory).

Starting and Stopping Performances

You can use a foot switch to start and stop the performance of
Styles and songs (p. 85).
1.
With the performance stopped, press the foot switch.
When [MANU] or [AUTO] is lit: performance of the Style begins
from the intro.
When [SONG] is lit: performance of the song begins.
2.
Press the foot switch while the performance is in progress.
When [MANU] or [AUTO] is lit: the ending is played, and then
the performance stops.
When [SONG] is lit: the song stops.

Switching Verses

You can press the foot switch during performance of the Style to
have a fill-in inserted in the current verse and then switch to the
next verse. For example, if you press the foot switch while Verse
A is playing, the DR-3 inserts a fill-in B and switches to Verse B.
1.
Press the foot switch while the performance is in progress.
A fill-in is inserted, and the DR-3 switches to the verse following
the verse currently being played.
Pressing the foot switch while Verse A is playing switches the
performance to Verse B, pressing the foot switch during Verse B
switches the performance to Verse C, and pressing the foot switch
during Verse C switches the performance to Verse A.
By continuing to press the foot switch, you can select subsequent
verses according to the number of times you press the foot switch.
Pressing the switch while the performance is in progress switches
the DR-3 to the next verse specified for the song.

If two foot switches are
connected, press the foot
switch connected using the
plug with the white ring.
When connecting two foot
switches, press the foot switch
connected using the plug with
the red ring. If you have only
one foot switch connected, use
the procedure described in the
following section "Assigning
Functions to the Foot Switch"
to assign "VERSE, LOOP" to
the foot switch.
