Controller

Parameters set on the display called up by selecting "CONTROLLER" in step #2 of the Basic Procedure on page 150 are
explained below. This display lets you make settings for controllers with which the TYROS is equipped (including the keyboard,
modulation wheel, pitch bend wheel) and which are connected to the TYROS (including the footswitch and foot controller).
I FOOT PEDAL

Foot Controller FC7
(optional)
• The FC4, FC5, and FC7
can be plugged into any
of the three jacks.
Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. You can turn this pedal function on or off for
each part on this display.
When the pedal is pressed notes played have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops
(damps) any sustained notes. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this
display.
If you press and hold the foot switch here, all the notes shown will be sustained.
If you press and hold the pedal here, only the first note will be sustained (the note that you played and
held when pressing the pedal). This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes
are played staccato. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display.
If you press and hold the foot switch here, only the first note will be sustained
(the note that you played and held when pressing the foot switch).
When you press the foot switch, the soft effect is applied to the keyboard notes. You can turn this pedal
function on or off for each keyboard part on this display.
When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when the pedal is
released. The following parameters can be set for this function on this display.
• UP/DOWN – determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered)
• RANGE – determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones
• ON SPEED – determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is pressed
• OFF SPEED – determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is released
• LEFT, RIGHT1, 2, 3 – turns this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part
The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal is pressed.
Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding
note is still held). The portamento time can be set via the Mixing Console display. You can turn this
pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display.
If necessary, set the parameters
related to the selected function. Dis-
played parameters differ depending on
the selected function.
Pedal on/off operation may
differ depending on the par-
ticular pedal you've con-
nected to the TYROS. For
example, pressing down on
one pedal may turn the
selected function on, while
pressing a different make/
brand of pedal may turn the
function off. If necessary,
use this setting to reverse
the operation.
