Pressing the connected Foot Pedal/Footswitch sustains notes longer. Half-pedal function This function is available when the Foot Pedal FC3A is connected, allowing you to vary the sustain length depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther down you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if you press the damper pedal and all the notes you are playing sound indistinct and loud with too much sustain, you can release the pedal halfway or higher to decrease the sustain and increase the clarity of the notes. This function is not available for the FC4A or FC5 Footswitch. • Turn the power off when connecting or disconnecting the Foot Pedal/Footswitch. • Do not turn the power on while pressing the Foot Pedal/Footswitch.
