A footswitch (FS-5U; sold separately) connected to the FOOT SW jack can be used as a sustain (hold)
pedal to control specied Instruments (See the Instrument List on page 76 – 83 with Hold mark) and
external MIDI sound modules. When you depress the pedal, a Control Change message (Sustain) will
be transmitted, instructing the MIDI sound modules to continue sounding the notes that are currently
being played.
