Footswitch - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-225 Owner's Manual

FOOTSWITCH

The PortaTone has a footswitch feature that can be used to control a variety of
functions and operations. By using your foot to conveniently control these func-
tions, you free your hands to concentrate on your performance.
Normally, this is used as a damper pedal, producing pedal-controlled sustain for piano and other
instrument sounds that have a natural decay. It can also be assigned to any of these eleven other
functions:
• EZ Chord increment
• START/STOP
• INTRO/ENDING
• MAIN A
• MAIN B
• Harmony On/Off

TION button.
