Yamaha FC5 Foot Switch Sustain Pedal
The Yamaha FC5 is a foot switch for sustain and other momentary on/off functions. Plugged into an electronic keyboard with a SUSTAIN input jack, it works the same way as the sustain pedal on an acoustic piano, and its rubber bottom keeps it firmly in place.
It suits beginners and students who need a dependable first sustain pedal, as well as keyboard players, producers and sound engineers who want a simple foot switch for synthesizers, tone modules, drum machines or compatible Yamaha mixers.
Key Features
Sustain just like an acoustic piano
Connect the FC5 to a keyboard's SUSTAIN jack and press it to hold notes, the same way you would use the damper pedal on an acoustic piano. It is an essential accessory for playing piano voices smoothly.
Rubber bottom that stays put
Yamaha gave the FC5 a specially designed rubber bottom that grips the floor. The pedal stays where you put it, so you are not distracted by it sliding away mid-song.
Momentary on/off control
The FC5 is a momentary switch: pressing it turns a function on and releasing it turns it off. This simple operation makes it reliable and easy to use. It does not support half-pedalling.
Foot switch controller for synths and drum machines
Beyond sustain, the FC5 can act as a foot switch controller for synthesizers, tone modules and drum machines, letting you trigger compatible functions hands-free while you play.
Effect on/off for Yamaha MG mixers
On Yamaha MG mixers with SPX effects and a foot switch input, the FC5 switches the effect return on and off. Compatible models are the MG10X, MG10XU, MG10XUF, MG12X, MG12XU, MG12XUK, MG16X, MG16XU and MG20XU, so you can drop reverb between songs or for announcements without reaching for the desk.
Foot switch for Yamaha portable PA
Yamaha also lists the FC5 as a foot switch controller for its portable PA systems and mixers, making one pedal useful across your keyboard, mixer and PA setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Yamaha FC5 and the FC4A?
Both are on/off foot switches for sustain and other momentary functions. The FC4A is a piano-style pedal designed to feel like the pedal of an acoustic piano, while the FC5 is a simpler foot switch that also works as an effect switch for compatible Yamaha mixers and portable PA.
Will the FC5 work with my keyboard?
The FC5 is designed for electronic keyboards with an input jack labelled SUSTAIN. If you are unsure about your instrument, share the model with our team and we will check it for you.
Can I use the FC5 with a Yamaha MG mixer?
Yes, for effect on/off control on the MG10X, MG10XU, MG10XUF, MG12X, MG12XU, MG12XUK, MG16X, MG16XU and MG20XU. The MG06X and MG06 do not have a foot switch input for effects.
Does the FC5 support half-pedalling?
No. The FC5 is an on/off switch, so sustain is either fully on or off. Yamaha's FC3A is the pedal designed for half-pedalling on instruments that support it.
