For live performance,these are the essential 4 footswitch triggered arranger keyboard functions that I require:
1) Damper Sustain
2) Vocal Harmony on/off
3) Fill to self
4) Reg Mem. Advance +
SemiLive: I previously used a Yamaha MFC10 pedal unit:
which has a dizziying number of programable footpedals to assign just about any keyboard function (supported via midi) to footpedal control. Not only was it difficult to operate onstage trying to remember what each of it's many banks & associated pedals was programmed for, but cumbersomely heavy to drag around as well.
The Tyros has only three 1/4" footpedal outputs, but fortunately, with the addition of the small lightweight 'midi footswitch'controller box from Midi Solutions:
http://midisolutions.com/prodfsw.htm I'm able to trigger four (and all I really need) via an FC2 Technote brand 4 pedal footpedal controler unit:
which I custom hardware configured to work on the Tyros.
