If necessary, set the polarity of the pedal by using the [I] button.
Pedal on/off operation may differ depending on the particular pedal you’ve connected to the instrument.
For example, pressing down on one pedal may turn the selected function on, while pressing a different
make/brand of pedal may turn the function off. If necessary, use this setting to reverse the operation.
Assignable Pedal Functions
For functions indicated with “*”, use only the foot controller; proper operation cannot be done with a
footswitch.
ARTICULATION 1/2
(PSR-S950)
When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the
pedal/footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch.
VOLUME*
Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume.
SUSTAIN
Allows you to use a pedal to control sustain. When you press and hold the
pedal, all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the
pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
SOSTENUTO
Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or
chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes
will sustain 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.
NOTE
This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super Articulation Voices, even if
this has been assigned to the Foot Pedals.
SOFT
Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces
the volume 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.
UP/DOWN
Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered).
RANGE
Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
ON SPEED
Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is pressed.
OFF SPEED
Determines the speed of the pitch change 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). The portamento
time can also be adjusted from the Mixing Console display (
NOTE
This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super Articulation Voices, even if
this has been assigned to the Foot Pedals.
PITCH BEND*
Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal.
UP/DOWN
Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered).
RANGE
Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
MODULATION*
Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard.
MODULATION (ALT)
(PSR-S950)
As a variation on MODULATION, 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.
