Get yourself a Roland PK5 midi foot controller , simple to use and your hands free !!
You would have to do the midi setup in your Psr 970 to allow the Pk5 to control your chording on the Psr 970 !!
Hi g9j,
as described by "jeep4446" here, you can use a MIDI foot pedal (normally used to play Bass notes) to trigger the chords on S970.
When fingering mode is set to "Multi Finger" OR "Single Finger", you can play a
Major chord by pressing only ONE key on the pedal and play a
Minor or
Seventh chord by pressing TWO keys on the pedal (the root key and the nearest black respectively white key to the left of the root key).
(Maybe some of these "two key" chords can be played with only ONE foot, but in some cases you will have to use BOTH feet.
)
In S970 MIDI Setup please go to "Chord Detect" tab and make the proper settings (used MIDI Port and MIDI Channel for the MIDI foot pedal). Then press Exit, tab to User drive and SAVE your User MIDI Setup with a new file name.
Best regards,
Chris
