Using Pedals
In order to see how pedals work, connect the FC3 foot pedal that came with your CP5 or CP50 into the [SUSTAIN] foot-
switch jack located on the rear panel (page 16) and operate it while you play. As described below, the way in which a
pedal functions will depend on the jack to which it is connected.

[SUSTAIN] foot-switch jack
The [SUSTAIN] foot-switch jack is used for connecting the FC3 foot pedal that came with your stage piano. Notes played
while this pedal is pressed will be sustained longer than normal after you release the corresponding keys. This pedal
also supports half-damper playing, with the degree to which the pedal is pressed controlling how long the notes are
sustained. The half-damper function can be turned on or off using the SusPedal parameter (Sustain Pedal) from Page 3
of the Utility screen. For more details, refer to the Reference Manual pdf document.
NOTE An optional FC4 or FC5 foot switch can also be connected to the [SUSTAIN] foot-switch jack; however, only the FC3 foot pedal supports half-
damper playing. Whenever one of these optional pedals is to be used, the SusPedal parameter from the Utility screen must be set accordingly.
[ASSIGNABLE] foot-switch jack
The [ASSIGNABLE] foot-switch jack is used for connecting an optional FC4 or FC5 foot switch, which can then be used
in order to intuitively control one of many CP5 or CP50 parameters. The assignment of these parameters is carried out on
Pages 3 to 5 of the Common Settings screen. For more details, refer to the Reference Manual pdf document.
NOTE An FC4 or FC5 connected to the [ASSIGNABLE] foot-switch jack can be used to start and stop the backing track. In order to do so, navigate to
page 4 of the Utility screen and set the value of the CtrlAsn parameter to "FS" and the value of the CtrlNo. parameter to "98(Ply/Stop)".
