Foot controllers
You can control the sound of the Grandstage X using the foot pedals connected to each foot control-
ler jack. You may need to configure the functions controlled by the pedals and adjust the variable
range for each pedal.
Note:
The Grandstage X will automatically detect the polarity of the pedal switch and damper pedal that are con-
nected. The pedal position will be considered to be off when the Grandstage X power is turned on, or when the
pedal is connected.
Tip:
You can turn the respective controllers on/off (enabled/disabled) for each layered and split sound.

DAMPER jack
Connect the damper pedal (DS-1H) included with the Grandstage X. This is used to make sounds sus-
tain after removing your hands from the keys, for a piano damper effect.
When connecting the DS-1H pedal, this functions as a half-damper pedal. This will allow for more deli-
cate damper control of piano and electric piano sounds on this keyboard. When a switch-type pedal is
connected, the pedal will act as a damper switch.

SWITCH jack
Connect an optional PS-1, PS-3 or other foot switch (sold separately) to this jack for on/off switching.
This allows you to switch between favorites, as well as control sounds and effects.
The factory-set default settings are front panel and SW2 button on/off (CC#81).

→ Calibrating the foot pedal (Foot Pedal Calibration)
PEDAL jack
Connect an optional XVP-20 expression/volume pedal or an EXP-2 foot controller here. This is used to
control the volume, effects and so on.
The pedal is set for expression control (CC#11) by factory default, to control the overall volume. How-
ever, for preloaded programs that include the pedal wah effect, the pedal is automatically set to con-
trol the wah effect. Some of these programs contain the word “Pedal Wah” in the name.
→ Foot - Pedal (foot pedal functions)
→ Calibrating the foot pedal (Foot Pedal Calibration)
Do not press the pedal while you turn on the power or connect the pedal to the Grandstage X.
