F3: Controller
When the SUSTAIN, SOSTENUTO, or SOFT
type is selected, use the LEFT, R1, R2, and LEAD
LCD [▲/▼] controls to turn footswitch control for
the corresponding parts
ON or OFF as required.
NOTES
• The sustain effect is applied to the specified orchestra
part(s) only when the panel [SUSTAIN] button is turned on
or when the sustain pedal is pressed.
• The panel [SUSTAIN] button will not function while a
footswitch to which the sustain effect is assigned is used.
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.
TAP TEMPO While the accompaniment is stopped, or during the SYNCHRO START mode before the
accompaniment is started, the footswitch can be used to set any desired tempo (within the
PSR-4000’s 32 to 280 beats per minute range) by simply tapping on the switch at the re-
quired tempo.
Tap 4 times for an accompaniment with a 4/4 time signature, 3 times for 3/4, and 5 times for
5/4.
If the accompaniment is started before the required number of taps has been entered, the
Tap Start setting will be ignored. The Tap Start setting will also be ignored if several sec-
onds elapse before the required number of taps have been entered, if a different style is
selected, or if the accompaniment [START/STOP] button is pressed.
REGISTRATION + Recall next highest (increment) registration. “1-1” is selected after “16-8”.
REGISTRATION – Recall next lowest (decrement) registration. “16-8” is selected after “1-1”.
START/STOP Same as panel [START/STOP] button.
ROTARY SPEAKER Alternately selects the SLOW and FAST speeds of the rotary speaker when a DSP EFFECT
Rotary Speaker effect is selected (page 112).
HARMONY Harmony occurs only while footswitch pressed.
INTRO/FILL to A Same as panel [INTRO/FILL to A] button.
INTRO/FILL to B Same as panel [INTRO/FILL to B] button.
ENDING/rit. Same as panel [ENDING/rit.] button.
FADE IN/OUT Same as panel [FADE IN/OUT] button.
F.CHORD 1/2 The footswitch alternately switches between the ABC FINGERED 1 and FINGERED 2
modes (page 20).
BASS HOLD Holds the bass note so that “pedal bass” progressions can be produced using ABC.
PERCUSSION Footswitch plays a percussion instrument selected by the ASSIGN LCD [ ▲ / ▼ ] controls (the
latter appears when the PERCUSSION type is selected).
ACCOMP. BREAK Pressing the footswitch produces a break in the accompaniment for as long as the pedal is
held. The accompaniment will start again from the top of the next odd-numbered measure
when the pedal is released.
PUNCH IN/OUT Sets punch-in and punch-out points when song record mode is set to “Punch” (page 63).
