Thought this might come in handy, took me a week to get the mfc-10 to
work correctly without it.

Compiled from:  ty2 manual - mfc-10 manual - Instructions from Yamaha tech at
Yamaha USA and some hours to sort it out......cheers

My MFC10 button settings
written by Carol , November 09, 2008
Thank-You for this explaination, Pose. I have an MFC which I set up ages ago and can't remember how I did it. I have stopped using it but will give it another go now as you have brought it to my attention. I think my brain had not got into automatic memory of the position of switches to actions. I guess this needs dedicated practice and eventually it will click.
My settings were:

Pedal 0 Nothing
1 Pad 1
2 Pad 2
3 Transpose
4 Fill
5 Break
6 Pad 3
7 Pad 4
8 Echo
9 Reg

Large Pedal Modulation (I shall probably change this one)

I kept a sheet of paper on the floor near the Pedal to remind me of what was where and I had not got it into memory. Also I was not sure if this was my FINAL layout so probably that is why I had not memorised it.
Cheers
Carol
