The PSR-9000 "Functions" q Footswitch1 q Footswitch2 This determines the functions of footswitches plugged into the rear-panel FOOT PEDAL SWITCH 1 and FOOT PEDAL SWITCH 2 jacks, and to which of the PSR-9000 voices the footswitches will apply. FOOT PEDAL SWITCH 1 SWITCH 2 VOLUME Select one of the footswitch functions. See below for details each function. When the Sustain, Sostenuto, Soft, Glide, Portamento, or DSP slow/fast type is selected, you can set the corresponding parts on or off as required. Functions controlled by the footswitch SUSTAIN Standard sustain footswitch operation. When the footswitch is pressed notes played have a long sustain. Releasing the footswitch immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. SOSTENUTO If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the footswitch while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as the footswitch is held (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played "staccato." SOFT Pressing the footswitch subtly reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played. The SOFT effect only applies to certain voices - PIANO, for example. GLIDE When the pedal is pressed the pitch drops a semitone, and then glides smoothly back 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). The portamento time can be set via the Mixing Console display (page 123). DSP SLOW/FAST Same as the DSP [SLOW/FAST] button. HARMONY/ECHO Harmony occurs only while pedal is pressed. VOCAL HARMONY Same as the [V.H.(9)] button. REGIST. + Recall next highest (increment) registration. "1-1" is selected after "64-8". REGIST. - Recall next lowest (decrement) registration. "64-8" is selected after "1-1". START/STOP Same as the [START/STOP] button. TAP TEMPO Same as the [TAP TEMPO] button. SYNCHRO STOP Same as the [SYNC STOP] button. INTRO 1 Same as the [INTRO I] button. INTRO 2 Same as the [INTRO II] button. INTRO 3 Same as the [INTRO III] button. MAIN A Same as the [MAIN VARIATION A] button. MAIN B Same as the [MAIN VARIATION B] button. MAIN C Same as the [MAIN VARIATION C] button. MAIN D Same as the [MAIN VARIATION D] button. FILL DOWN Same as the [FILL IN & BREAK ] button. FILL SELF Same as the [FILL IN & BREAK ] button. FILL BREAK Same as the [FILL IN & BREAK ] button. FILL UP Same as the [FILL IN & BREAK ] button. ENDING 1 Same as the [ENDING/rit. I] button. ENDING 2 Same as the [ENDING/rit. II] button. ENDING 3 Same as the [ENDING/rit. III] button. FADE IN/OUT Same as the [FADE IN/OUT] button. FING/ON BASS The footswitch alternately switches between the Fingered and On Bass modes (page 58). BASS HOLD While the pedal is pressed, the Auto Accompaniment bass note will be held even if the chord is changed. This function does not work in the Full Keyboard mode. PERCUSSION Footswitch plays a percussion instrument selected by the ASSIGN LCD buttons (the latter appears when the Percussion type is selected). 136 Reference q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q 134
