Foot Controller; Keyboard Aftertouch - Yamaha SY85 Owner's Manual

FOOT CONTROLLER

An optional Yamaha FC7 or FC9 Foot Controller plugged into the rear-
panel FOOT CONTROLLER jack can be assigned to amplitude modulation,
pitch modulation, frequency modulation, envelope generator bias depth, and
filter cutoff frequency depth control via the VOICE EDIT mode FOOT CON-
TROLLER DEPTH functions described on page 85 of the Feature Reference
manual.

KEYBOARD AFTERTOUCH

Keyboard aftertouch response is most frequently used for vibrato control:
the harder you press the keys the more vibrato is applied. This makes it possi-
ble to control vibrato without having to remove one hand from the keyboard to
use the MODULATION wheel. For the same reason, aftertouch is also often
used for pitch control. Many of the internal voices provided with the SY85
have preset aftertouch functions (see the voice list on page 306 through 309),
but you can assign aftertouch to a number of different functions by using the
VOICE EDIT mode AFTER TOUCH DEPTH functions described on page 87 of
the Feature Reference manual.
