Assignable Pedal Functions
VOLUME*
Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. This function is available only
for the pedal connected to the instrument’s AUX PEDAL jack.
SUSTAIN
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 immedi-
ately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
SOSTENUTO
Allows you to use the pedal as a sostenuto pedal. In other words, if you play a note or
chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sus-
tain 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.
SOFT
Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the vol-
ume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain
appropriate Voices.
GLIDE
When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when
the pedal is released.
PORTAMENTO
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). Portamento Time can also be adjusted
from the Mixing Console (page 90). This function does not affect certain Natural Voices,
which would not sound appropriately with this function.
PITCH BEND*
Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal.
MOD/S.ART1*
Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. Moreover, various effects can
be added to the S. Articulation Voice (page 78). The effect becomes deeper when press-
ing down the foot controller. You can turn this function on/off for each keyboard part on
this display.
MOD/S.ART2 (ALT)
As a variation on MOD/S.ART1, 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/footswitch is pressed. You can turn this function on/off for each keyboard part on
this display.
S.ART SW
When you use a S. Articulation voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/foot-
switch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch. You can turn this
function on/off for each keyboard part on this display.
DSP VARIATION

VIBE ROTOR ON/OFF

selected.
