This display lets you make settings for controllers with which the Tyros2 is equipped (including the keyboard, modulation wheel, pitch bend wheel) and which are connected to the Tyros2 (including the footswitch and foot controller). ■ FOOT PEDAL ...From the [FUNCTION] → CONTROLLER → FOOT PEDAL display, you can assign one of various functions to each foot pedal (footswitch or foot controller) connected to the Tyros2. Determines the particular pedal to which a function is to be assigned. Determines the function to be assigned to the selected pedal. Foot Controller FC7 (optional) Footswitch Footswitch FC4 (optional) FC5 (optional) NOTE • The FC4, FC5, and FC7 can be plugged into any of the three jacks. If necessary, set the parameters related to the selected function. Displayed parameters differ depending on the selected function. Pedal on/off operation may differ depending on the particular pedal you've connected to the Tyros2. 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. Functions that can be assigned to the foot pedal (footswitch, foot controller) VOLUME* Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each part on this display. When the pedal is pressed, notes played have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display. SUSTAIN SOSTENUTO SOFT GLIDE PORTAMENTO PITCHBEND* If you press and hold the foot switch here, all the notes shown will be sustained. If you press and hold the pedal here, only the first note will be sustained (the note that you played and held when pressing the pedal). This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display. If you press and hold the foot switch here, only the first note will be sustained (the note that you played and held when pressing the foot switch). When you press the foot switch, the soft effect is applied to the keyboard notes. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display. When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when the pedal is released. The following parameters can be set for this function on this display. • 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 • LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2, 3-turns this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part 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. You can turn this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part on this display. Bend notes up or down while pedal is pressed. The following parameters can be set for this function on this display. • 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 • LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2, 3-turns this pedal function on or off for each keyboard part 189 Tyros2 Owner's Manual
