Use the [2
]/[3
] buttons to select a footswitch number (F00–F29)
or a foot controller number (1–5) to which the function is assigned.
Please note that a note number is assigned to each footswitch and a control
change number is assigned to each foot controller beforehand and you can-
not change the settings.
4-3
Use the [4
]–[6
] buttons to specify the function assigned to the
footswitch (actually the note number), or the function assigned to the foot
controller (actually the control change number). About the functions which
can be assigned to the footswitch or foot controller, refer to
4-4
(Only for the FOOT CONTROLLER Setting) Determine the part to which
the function assigned to the foot controller is applied by using the [7
]/
[8
] buttons.
4-5
Use the [F]/[G] buttons to determine the MIDI port which is to be used
when communicating with the MFC10.
Here, the USB port (USB1, USB2) can be selected even though the MFC10
does not have the USB connector. This is because the computer can be used
instead of the MFC10. (The computer can transmit the data equivalent to the
data the MFC10 transmits to the Tyros4. For details, see the bottom of the
page.)
4-6
Use the [H] (CH SELECT) button to determine the MIDI channel which is
to be used when communicating with the MFC10.
5
Press the [I] (SEND MFC10 SETUP) button to send the settings
here to the MFC10.
6
Disconnect the MIDI cable from the Tyros4 and the MFC10, and
connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the MFC10 to the MIDI IN ter-
minal of the Tyros4 according to the setting above by using a
MIDI cable.
7
Operate the MFC10 to confirm whether you can properly control
the Tyros4 from the MFC10 as set in step 4.
8
Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MIDI template Selection
display and save the settings above to the USER tab.
Actually the pair of the footswitch num-
ber and the note number, the pair of the
foot controller number and the control
change number, and the MIDI channel
for communication set above are trans-
mitted to the MFC10.

Using a computer or another MIDI instrument instead of the MFC10
The following two settings on the MFC10 Page can be saved not to the MFC10 but to the Tyros4 as a MIDI
template.
• Note number/Tyros4 function assignment pairs
• Control change number/Tyros4 parameter change assignment pairs
If you are not using an MFC10, you can have note numbers and control change messages from any other
appropriate MIDI device (such as a computer, sequencer or master keyboard) control the Tyros4. Make sure to
set the appropriate channel in this display for control by the external device.
