When using a Footswitch connected to the FOOT SWITCH (SUSTAIN) jack
When the Half Damper function is set to OFF:
When you release the key while holding the Footswitch, the sound will stay at the Sustain Level (Decay 2
Level shown below. (For Voices having a Sustain Level of 0, the sound decays naturally to silence.)
When releasing the Footswitch, the operation is same as key off; the sound will start to decay, and finally
decay to silence according to the Release Time.
When the Half Damper function is set to ON (FC3 only)
When you release a key while pressing the Footswitch fully down, the sound will decay to the Sustain
Level (Decay 2 Level), according to the Sustain Time value.
In this case, you can control the decay time between the Sustain Time and Release Time by how far
down you press the pedal. However, when you release the pedal after releasing the keys (key off event),
the sound will decay according to the Release Time, as if the Half Damper function was set to off.
When releasing the key before the sound reaches the Sustain Level
When pressing the sustain pedal fully down, the sound will decay after reaching the Sustain Level (after
the Decay 2 Time). When the Footswitch is not pressed fully down, the sound will decay immediately.
