Using A Pedal To Modify The Sound; Switching The Pedal's Polarity (Pedal Polarity) - Roland RS-5 Owner's Manual

Using a pedal to modify the
sound
With an external pedal, such as an expression pedal (the
optional EV-5,) pedal switch (the optional DP-2/6) or foot
switch (the optional BOSS FS-5U) connected to the PEDAL
CONTROL jack, you can then use the pedal to make changes
in the Tone.
Just as with the Modulation lever, you can select the function
affected when the pedal is pressed. The pedal will mainly be
used for changing volume levels (VOLUME, EXPRESSION,
and UP-LO BALANCE), sostenuto (SOSTENUTO), and as a
soft pedal (SOFT).

* This is applied to both the Upper Part and Lower Part when
Key Mode is set to Split and Dual.
For a description of the settings values, refer to (p. 71).
To make the settings, select the "PEDAL" (Control Pedal
Assign) in Step 4 above (p. 72).

* When you want to apply the effect that causes the sounds
being played to continue playing (called the "hold effect"),
connect a pedal switch (the optional DP-2/6) or foot switch
(the optional BOSS FS-5U) to the PEDAL HOLD jack. When
Arpeggio is on, this changes to an Arpeggio Hold function.
This allows you to play arpeggios without having to continue
holding chords. However, when the Key Mode is set to Split,
the Hold effect can be obtained with respect to what is played
in the upper part of the keyboard, while Arpeggio Hold will
apply to notes played in the lower part of the keyboard (p. 75).
Chapter 4. Changing Tones in Real Time
Switching the Pedal's Polarity
(Pedal Polarity)
Select the polarity of the pedal. On some pedals, the electrical
signal output by the pedal when it is pressed or released is
the opposite of other pedals. If your pedal has an effect
opposite of what you expect, set this parameter to REVERSE.
If you are using a Roland pedal (that has no polarity switch),
set this parameter to STANDARD.
The Pedal Polarity setting affects the entire RS-5/9 (i.e., is a
System setting). This setting remains stored in memory even
while the power is off.
1. Press [EDIT], getting the indicator to light.
2. Use VALUE [-]/[+] to select "System Setup."
3. Press [ENTER].
4. Press numeric key [5] several times to select the
parameter to be set.
If setting the polarity of the pedal connected to the
PEDAL HOLD jack, select "CONTROL PEDAL
Polarity."
If setting the polarity of the pedal connected to the
PEDAL HOLD jack, select "HOLD PEDAL Polarity."
