• Destination: (Footswitch) 3 SUSTAIN
For footswitch controlled sustain, first select the footswitch then select 3.
Note: If you play a looped sound while the footswitch is pressed, as soon as the looped
portion begins it will sustain (even after lifting your fingers off the keys) until the
footswitch is released. Holding down the footswitch continuously provides a hold
function for looped notes, where the last eight notes played will sustain for as long as the
footswitch is pressed.
If you play an unlooped sound while the footswitch is pressed, it will play through its
entire length (whether o

t you are holding down a key), then s top.
• Destination: (Footswitch) 4 RELEASE
For footswitch controlled release, first select the footswitch then select 4. Any note
played while the footswitch is pressed will play through its entire length, whether or not
you continue to hold down a key. Looped sections are not repeated unless you hold
down the ke
y. Releasing the footswitch cancels release.
Application: If you have a voice with a short release but where there are sounds after the
end of the loop, playing the sound normally will play through to the end of the loop and
you will not hear the sounds that occur after the loop. However, if you press down on
the release footswitch during the loop and remove your finger from the key, the voice
will play through
t ❏
the end—including the “after-loop” sou nds.
