Section 1 — Controls and Architecture ASR-10 Musician’s Manual Note: If you are using a single foot switch (SW-2 or SW-6), the Edit/System•MIDI, LEFT FOOT SW parameter should be set to OFF. This will prevent unexpected behaviour. Remember that the Foot Switch jack is optimized for use with a dual foot switch (SW-10), and when a single foot switch is connected, it behaves like the Right Foot Switch. When the SW-2 is connected to the Foot Switch jack: When the SW-10 is connected to the Foot Switch jack: It acts as the Sustain Pedal. The Right Foot Switch acts as the Sustain Pedal. The Left Foot Switch is assignable.
A parameter on the Edit/System•MIDI page (press Edit , then System•MIDI , then scroll until the display reads “LEFT FOOT SW=OFF”) determines the function of the Left Foot Switch. Tip: The Sustain pedal can be used to dynamically “latch” the current amount of pressure being exerted on the keyboard. Here’s how: 1) Select a sound that responds to pressure. Choose a sustaining sound like an organ. 2) Play a key and press into the keyboard until you can hear the pressure modulation affect the sound of the note. 3) Press and hold the Sustain pedal. 4) Release the key. You will hear that the sound continues to be modulated by pressure at the depth to which you were pressing.
5) Play a different key. Notice that the new note is not modulated. You can now press into the keyboard and modulate the new note independent of the note that is sustained. When the current pressure output exceeds the latched level, pressure on the new note will modulate both notes. 6) To release the “latched” pressure value on the sustained note, either press the “latched” key again, or release the Sustain pedal. 2 Rear Panel Connections
