port is factory-set and assigned to the MIDI parameter “Foot Pedal”
(CC 64), which represents a switch controller. When the pedal is
pressed (and held) in normal Play mode, it generates a controller
with the value 127. When the pedal is released, the controller falls
back to 0 (typical piano sustain pedal behavior). Apart from that the
pedal assignment is the same as the button assignment, i.e. you can
assign any MIDI controller to it.
