Pedals (Optional)

As described above, the Forte has five jacks on the rear panel for optional pedal controllers.
Three jacks for switch pedals, which are typically used to control two-state (i.e., on / off)
parameters such as sustain, sostenuto, and soft. A Half Damper pedal (also known as a
continuous switch pedal) can be used to allow for "half pedaling" sustain techniques when
playing Forte piano programs.
The remaining two jacks are for continuous control (or CC) pedals typically used to control
multi-state (i.e., "continuous") parameters such as volume and wah.
Your Kurzweil dealer stocks the following pedals:
• FS-1
• KFP-1 Single piano-style switch pedal
• KFP-2S Double piano-style switch pedal unit (one stereo plug)
