Performance Controllers The DX7s features a greatly expanded set of controller options. The settings for Footswitches 1 and 2 and Continuous Sliders 1 and 2 are adjusted in Performance Edit Mode, using button 27. (The other controller settings are accessed in voice parameters.) Sustain Footswitch (FS 1) Footswitch 1 is set to operate as a sustain pedal. Footswitch 2 (FS 2) Footswitch 2 is a multipurpose pedal with four selectable functions: Sustain, Portamento, Key Hold, or Soft. If Sustain is selected, FS 2 operates as a sustain pedal (just like FS 1). If Portamento is selected, voice portamento effects will operate only when the pedal is depressed. If Key Hold is selected, only notes that are being held when the pedal is engaged will sustain. This effect is similar to a piano's sostenuto pedal. If Soft is engaged, the pedal will soften the timbre and volume of the sound. You can edit the range of the soft pedal by pressing button 27 again. The range is 1 ~ 7. - 36 -
