Yamaha FC5 Sustain Pedal

Compact, Reliable Sustain Switching for Keyboards and More

The Yamaha FC5 is a compact foot switch for sustain and other momentary (on/off) functions. Connected to an electronic keyboard with a sustain input jack, it works like the sustain pedal on an acoustic piano.

Its specially designed rubber bottom grips the floor and stays put while you play. Beyond keyboards, the FC5 can act as a footswitch controller for synthesizers, tone modules and drum machines, and Yamaha also offers it as a foot switch for its portable PA systems and mixers.

Sustain at the press of a foot

Press the FC5 to sustain notes just as you would with an acoustic piano’s sustain pedal. It suits beginners’ keyboards and digital pianos alike, wherever a sustain jack is provided.

Momentary on/off control

The FC5 sends a simple on/off signal, so it can also be used for other momentary functions that your instrument lets a footswitch control. It does not provide half-damper control.

Rubber bottom that stays in place

Yamaha designed the FC5’s rubber bottom to grip the floor, so the pedal stays where you put it during practice and performance.

Footswitch for synths, tone modules and drum machines

Yamaha notes that the FC5 can serve as a footswitch controller for synthesizers, tone modules and drum machines, making it a useful spare in a studio or stage setup.

Also listed for Yamaha PA systems and mixers

Yamaha lists the FC5 as a foot switch controller for its portable PA systems and mixers. Check that your unit has a footswitch input before ordering.

Yamaha states that the FC5 works with electronic keyboards that have a sustain input jack, and lists it as an optional pedal for digital pianos including the P-225 and P-45. Please check your model with our team if you are unsure.
