Foot Switch Parameter (Realtime parts/Arranger parameter)
This parameter allows you to specify the function of the optional DP-2, DP-6, or Boss FS-5U
connected to the FOOT SWITCH jack on the rear panel. The default setting is Start
Lor, which allows you to start and stop Arranger playback. Note also the Saft. and Sos-
tert options as well as the possibility to select Ho] d.
Though there is a dedicated SUSTAIN FOOTSWITCH jack that serves the same purpose,
you may want to select Hold for certain Performance Memories as doing so allows you to
save money by buying only one DP-2, DP-6, or Boss FS-5U. The trade-off is, however, that
selecting Hold means that you cannot assign another option to the optional footswitch.
Remember that the Footswitch assignment can be saved to a Performance Memory.
Here are the functions the optional DP-2, DP-6, or Boss FS-5U connected to the FOOT
SWITCH jack can perform:
Parameter Explanation
Start/Stop tarts and stops Arranger playback. Same function as [START/STOP].
Play/Stop Starts and stops Recorder playback. Same function as the Recorder [PLAY »].
Selects the Intro of the current Style Type during Arranger playback. Same func-
tion as [INTRO].
Endin Selects the Ending of the current Style Type (Basic or Advanced). Same function
g | as [ENDING].
Triggers either the To Original or To Variation fill, depending on whether the Origi-
Fo/Fv nal or Variation Division is currently active. Upon completion of the Fill, the
Arranger will play the Division selected by the Fill.
Intro
Selects either the Basic (Bsc) or Advanced (Adv) Type, depending on which one is
Bsc/Adv active at the time you press the footswitcn. Same function as [BASIC] and
[ADVANCED].
Selects either the Original or Variation Division of the currently active Type,
Org/Var depending on which one is active at the time you press the footswitch. Same
function as [ORIGINAL] and [VARIATION].
Inversion Switches the Inversion function on and off.
Allows you to switch the keyboard recognition on and off. When off, the notes
you play in the chord recognition area of the keyboard no longer cause the
Arranger to play another chord. Works well for long arpeggios when the Arranger
| and Realtime zones (partially) overlap.
Kbd Rec
Selects the next Performance Memory (i.e. A12 if A11 is currently active).
Note: Seeing that the footswitch function can also be saved to a Performance
Prf Up Memory, the memory you select using the footswitch in Prf Up mode may
contain another footswitch assignment so that you can no longer select the
next Performance Memory (i.e. A13) by foot.
Fade Out Starts the Fade Out. Same function as [FADE OUT] on the front panel.
Portamento Switches the Portamento function (see page 32) on and off.
E ee

Soft digital pianos that reduces the volume).
Note: This function only works for the Realtime parts.
In this case, the footswitch functions as Sostenuto pedal {another pedal found on
grand and digital pianos that allows you to sustain only those notes you played at
Sostenuto the time you pressed the pedal).
Note: . This function only works for the Realtime parts.
Hold The footswitch has the same function as a DP-2, DP-6, or Boss FS-5U connected
to the SUSTAIN FOOTSWITCH jack.
