Global Settings
23 . Sustain Polarity: Normal, Reversed—
There are two types of
momentary footswitches, normally open and normally closed. Either
type can be used with the Sustain switch input. This setting allows you
to accommodate both models in case yours behaves in a way that is
the opposite of what you expect due to its polarity. (Sustain is on until
the footswitch is pressed and then it turns off, which is the opposite of
the expected behavior.) Connect your pedal and choose the appropriate
setting based on its behavior.
24 . Sustain Arp:
Arp hold, Sustain—
Sets the function for the
sustain
pedal input the rear of the synthesizer. Selecting
arp hold
and pressing
the sustain pedal causes the arpeggiator to hold the current arpeggio as
if you had pressed the hold button on the front panel. Selecting
sustain
chooses normal sustain pedal operation.
