Tyros2 Owner’s Manual

Controller

Parameters set on the display called up by selecting “CONTROLLER” in step #2 of the Basic Procedure on page 187 are 
explained below. 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.

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. 

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.

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

Foot Controller FC7 
(optional)

Pedal on/off operation may 
differ depending on the par-
ticular pedal you’ve con-
nected 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.

If necessary, set the parameters 
related to the selected function. Dis-
played parameters differ depending on 
the selected function.
