Hold Pedal

If an optional pedal switch is connected to the rear panel HOLD PEDAL
jack, pressing the pedal switch will sustain (hold) the sound even if the keys
are released.

Expression Pedal

If an optional expression pedal is connected to any of the rear panel
CONTROL PEDAL jack, you can use the pedal to control the volume or
timbre of sound.

Solo

You can play using single notes, by pressing [SOLO] (indicator lights). This
function is especially effective when playing a sax, flute or other
monophonic instrument.
Using [PORTAMENTO] with [SOLO] ON allows you to simulate
performance techniques like violin glissandos.
