Changing How the Center
Pedals Work
With the factory setting, the center pedal functions as a soste-
nuto pedal (p. 11).
However, the center pedal setting can be changed to any of a
variety of different functions.
1. Press the [Center Pedal] button to get the appro-
priate indicator to light.
If Acoustic Layering (p. 26) and Dual function are
switched off, the Acoustic Layering function is then
switched on.
Sostenuto. Sets function to sostenuto pedal (p. 11).
Layer. When you play a key while pressing on the center
pedal, a suitable tone to match the piano tone is selected,
and the two tones are layered and played together.
The volume of the layer tone is adjusted according to
how much you press the pedal.
Octave. When you play a key while pressing on the cen-
ter pedal, the note for the key being pressed and the note
one octave above it are layered and played together. You
can adjust the volume of the sound one octave above the
layer tone by changing the pressure used on the pedal.
