The recommended sweep pedal is Yamaha FC7 Foot Controller
Plug the FC7 into the FOOT CONTROLLER 1 jack. It defaults to sending MIDI Control Change 011 which is musical Expression. In a PERFORMANCE you can have as many as our VOICES, each in one PART of the program. Each PART can be set to receive the Controller data or not. The PART parameter is called the RCV SW or RECEIVE SWITCH - when a mark appears next to the parameter the controller is active.
From your PERFORMANCE
Clear the mark for Vol/Exp for the Piano PART, this will allow it to ignore the changes in volume. |

That ‘s great thank you very much. It was not very difficult indeed. So, just for confirmation, the numbers from 1 to 95 indicate different controls, and the number 11 is for volume? Then i just have to go to a part options inside a performance and switch the fc1 control off/on in case i want that part to be controlled by the pedal. Right ? |
