Basic Operation
Using the Pedals
The digital piano is equipped with the two pedals shown in
the illustration below. The left pedal normally functions as a
soft pedal.
Soft/Sostenuto pedal
Pedal functions
• Damper pedal
Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to
sustain longer.
• Soft pedal
Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces
their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed
are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is
pressed sound at their normal volume.
• Sostenuto pedal
Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to
reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between
the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With
the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing
the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose
keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is
pressed are affected.
To assign the sostenuto to the left
pedal
While holding down the left pedal, turn on the digital piano.
To return left pedal to soft pedal, turn power off and then
back on again.
NOTE
• The following shows how pedal effects are applied during
different types of operations.
Memory playback, demo tune play
............. Pedal effects applied to notes played on the
keyboard only.
