Tyros4 Reference Manual
When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/footswitch,
you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch. You can turn this function on or off
for each keyboard part on this display.
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.
Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal, all notes
played on the keyboard have a longer 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.
Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on the
keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the
pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. 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.
NOTE
This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super Articulation Voices, even if this has
been assigned to the Foot Pedals.
Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and
changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain appropriate Voices.
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, RIGHT 1, 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 also be adjusted form the Mixing
Console display (page 108). You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part
on this display.
NOTE
This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes, Super Articulation 2 Voices and only some of the Super Articula-
tion Voices, even if this has been assigned to the Foot Pedals.
Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. 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.
LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2, 3: Turns this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part.
Applies vibrato and other effects to notes played on the keyboard. You can turn this pedal func-
tion on or off for each keyboard part on this display.
As a variation on MODULATION, the effects (waveform) can be switched on/off by the pedal/
footswitch. The effects (waveform) is alternately turned on and off each time the pedal/foot-
switch is pressed. You can turn this function on or off for each keyboard part on this display.
