Foot Controller; Foot Switch - Yamaha S08 Owner's Manual

Foot Controller

An optional Foot Controller (such as the FC7), connected
to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack (page 15) on the rear
panel, can be assigned to any one of a number of
controller parameters (page 39). By using a foot
controller for parameter control, both your hands are left
free to play the keyboard (or to operate other controllers).
This is very convenient when performing live.
n By setting the AC1 to the same control number as the
Foot Controller, you can use the Foot Controller to
continuously control the parameters below for each Part
or Voice.
• AC1 Filter Control
• AC1 LFO Filter Modulation Depth
• AC1 LFO Amplitude Modulation Depth
• AC1 Variation Effect Control Depth
The control number for AC1 can be set in the following
pages:
Multi Part Edit PAGE 19 (when controlling in the Multi
mode)
Controller PAGE 8 (when controlling in the Voice mode)
See next section below for information on setting the
control number for the Foot Controller.
Using the Foot Controller to Control
Parameters
In live performance, you can use the Foot Controller
onstage to keep your hands free to play the
keyboard, yet still be able to control various
functions necessary for your songs or performance.
In the following example, we'll show you how to set
up the Foot Controller to function the same as (and
substitute for) the Modulation Wheel.

Foot Switch

An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Foot Switch
connected to the rear panel FOOT SWITCH jack (page
15 ) can be assigned to a range of parameters. This is
designed for switch-type (on/off) controls such as
incrementing/decrementing Voice or Multi numbers,
and cannot be used for continuous control of a
parameter. The default factory setting for this is to
control sustain (FSTxCtlNo = 64).
n See next section below for information on setting the
control number for the Foot Switch. For details about
Control Numbers and Control Change messages, refer to
page 73 and the separate Data List.
Using the Foot Switch to Advance Through Programs
When performing live, you can set up the Foot Switch
to change Voices or Multis with your feet, without
having to take your hands from the keyboard. For
example, if you arrange the Voices/Multis in memory
in consecutive order (as you'll use them), you can
easily advance through them one-by-one by pressing
the Foot Switch while you perform. The following
instruction steps show you how to do this.
1 Press the [CONTROLLER] button to enter the
Controller mode.
