Using the Pedals
Your digital piano offers three pedals, just as on a conventional piano. Use
these pedals to add expressiveness to your performances.
Damper Pedal
Soft Pedal
Sostenuto Pedal
■
Damper Pedal
This pedal sustains the sound of the keys that you hit, so that the sound
continues with a very slow decay after you release the key. Properly used,
this pedal can add a rich, reverberant sound to your play. Push the pedal all
the way down to get a strong sustain, or only part of the way down (“half
pedaling”) to get a partial sustain.
■
Sostenuto Pedal
This pedal produces the same type of sustain as the damper pedal, but
operates only on the keys that are being held down at the moment you step
down on the pedal. Keys that are played after the pedal is already down are
not sustained. This pedal makes it possible to sustain some notes while
other notes play normally.
■
Soft Pedal
This pedal softens the sound. Push the pedal all the way down to get the
full effect, or only part of the way down (“half-pedaling”) to get partial
softening.
■
Using the Damper Pedal While in Layered Mode
When playing in Layered mode, you can set the damper pedal to operate on
either or both of the sounds. After entering Layered mode, proceed as
follows to assign the pedal.
1. Hold down TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION and step on the damper pedal
as while watching the SOUND buttons.
The SOUND buttons light up to indicate which sound(s) will be affected
by the damper pedal. The setting changes each time you press the pedal:
first one sound, then the other sound, then both sound.
+
2. When the appropriate button (or both buttons, if you want to apply
the pedal to both sound) lights up, release the TRANSPOSE/
FUNCTION button.
The Pedal settings return to their factory defaults when the power goes off.
