An optional FC4 or FC5 Footswitch connected to the SUSTAIN jack on the rear panel lets you control sus-
tain. For example, you can turn sustain on or off with your foot while playing with both hands.
NOTE
• Sustain can be applied only to the main and dual voices.
■Foot Controller
You can connect an optional Foot Controller (FC7) to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack on the rear panel.
The ability to control volume with your foot can be an advantage during live performance.
Increase value.
Raises or lowers the filter cutoff frequency to adjust the brilliance of the tone.
Adjusts the peak level around the cutoff frequency.
Determines the attack time of the sound.
For example, you can adjust a strings voice so that the sound gradually swells in volume
by setting a slow attack time ... simply turn this knob to the right.
Determines the release time of the sound.
Turning the knob to the right increases the release time and (depending on the voice) lets
the sound sustain after the key is released. To produce a sharp release, in which the
sound abruptly cuts off, set a short release time.
