Using the Pedal

[SUSTAIN] jack

This jack is for connecting the included pedal. The pedal functions in the
same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Connect an optional
pedal to this jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound.
An optional FC3 foot pedal or FC4 foot switch can also be connected to
this jack.
If you connect an optional pedal of FC3, the half pedal function* can be
used.

While you playing the piano with SUSTAIN and if you need to delete the
cloudy sound, release the foot from pedal to half position.
Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this
NOTE
changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed
footswitch operation.

[PEDAL UNIT] jack

This jack is for connecting an optional LP-5A
pedal unit. When connecting the pedal unit, make
sure to also assemble the unit on an optional key-
board stand (L-85/L-85S).
Make sure that power is OFF when connect-
NOTE
ing or disconnecting the pedal.
Pedal Unit Functions
The optional pedal unit has three foot pedals that produce a range of
expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic
piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an
acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer.
Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
A "half-pedal" effect lets you use the damper pedal to create partial sus-
tain effects, depending on how far down you press the pedal.
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto
pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you
hold the pedal (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subse-
quently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sus-
tain a chord, for example, while other notes are played "staccato."
Soft (Left) Pedal
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of
notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect
notes that are already playing when it is pressed.
