Footswitch and Expression
parameters
The 538/i548’s expression and sustain footswitch (next
to the expression shoe can also transmit MIDI messages
– again on different MIDI channels (one for each
keyboard). The following parameters allows you to set
their MIDI behavior.
Foot Switch
Use this parameter to specify (for manual I, manual II
and the pedalboard) whether the sustain footswitch
should transmit MIDI messages when pressed and
which MIDI message it should send. Select “Off” if it
should not transmit MIDI messages. Otherwise, select
one of the following options:
(1) Press [QUICK¥MENU] .
(2) Use the Select knob to select “MIDI Setting”.
(3) Confirm your choice by pressing
[QUICK¥MENU]
.
(4) Choose “Pedal”, “Manual I”, or “Manual II” with the
Select knob.
(5) Confirm your choice by pressing
[QUICK¥MENU]
.
(6) Use the Select knob to choose the “FtSw” parame-
ter.
(7) Use the data entry wheel to select “Off” or one of
the settings discussed above.
(8) Save your settings if you wish to keep them.

Expression
The MIDI language specifies two separate messages for
setting the level of a tone: Expression (CC11) and
Volume (CC07). It is possible to send either of these
messages on a MIDI coupler when the corresponding
shoe is moved. This setting can be made independently
for each MIDI coupler.
Most newer MIDI modules respond to either message,
causing changes in the level of a tone. In most MIDI
applications, Volume (CC07) is used to set relative
balances among the various parts while Expression
(CC11) is used to create changes in the level of each
part.
Because it was the first message of this type, the 538/
i548’s factory default specifies the Volume (CC07)
message for all couplers; typically, this setting can be
used with most MIDI sound modules. However, any
coupler can be set to use the Expression (CC11)
message if desired. If you don’t want to send either
Volume or Expression from the shoes for a given MIDI
coupler, set this parameter to “Off”.
(1) Press
[QUICK¥MENU]
.
(2) Use the Select knob to select “MIDI Setting”.
(3) Confirm your choice by pressing
[QUICK¥MENU]
.
(4) Choose “Pedal”, “Manual I”, or “Manual II” with the
Select knob.
Sust(ain) Also called “Damper” or “Hold”, the footswitch
allows you to hold the notes you play on the
keyboard in much the same way as on an
acoustic piano.
Sost(enuto) The footswitch sustains only the notes of the
keys that were already pressed when you
pressed the pedal.
Soft When you hold the footswitch and play the
keyboard, the sound on the external MIDI
device will have a softer tone.
