CVP-900
Allows you to use a foot controller (AUX pedal only) to control the volume.
When the pedal is pressed notes played have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
If you press and hold the pedal here, only the first note will be sustained (the note that you played and held when pressing the
pedal). This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.
Pressing the pedal subtly reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played. It only applies to certain voices
— PIANO, for example.
When the pedal is pressed the pitch changes, and then back to normal pitch when the pedal is released.
The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced
when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held). The portamento time can be set
via the Mixing Console display (page 122). It does not work for Natural voices.
Bend notes up or down while pedal is pressed. This can only be set to the AUX pedal and the CVP-900's damper pedal.
Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. The depth of the effect increases while pedal is pressed. This does not
work for the Natural voices.

to "FULL KEYBOARD," the function does not work.
The pedal plays a percussion instrument selected by the [4
desired percussion instrument.

These specify the part(s) that will be affected by the pedal.
You can specify how far down you should press on the right pedal until the damper effect (page 59) starts working. This
can be set for certain kinds of pedals, such as the AUX pedal (YAMAHA FC7) or the CVP-900's damper pedal.
Determines the depth of the left pedal effect, when SOFT is selected. This only works for the Natural voices.
When GLIDE or PITCH BEND is selected, this determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered).
When GLIDE or PITCH BEND is selected, this determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
When GLIDE is selected, this determines the speed of the pitch change, when the pedal is pressed.
When GLIDE is selected, this determines the speed of the pitch change, when the pedal is released.
When PERCUSSION is assigned to the pedal, all available drum kits are shown here, letting you select the particular
drum kit used for the pedal.
When PERCUSSION is assigned to the pedal, all sounds of the selected drum kit (in KIT above) are shown here. This
