Temperament Keys
The Half-Pedal Adjust setting allows the point at which the damper/sustain pedal becomes effective (i.e. when the dampers
of the piano begin to lift from the strings) to be adjusted. This setting may be useful for pianists that habitually rest their
right foot on the damper/sustain pedal, but do not necessarily wish to sustain the sound. You can select the half pedal
point from 1 to 10. The default setting is 5.
The Soft Pedal Depth setting adjusts the effectiveness (i.e. depth/strength) of the soft pedal. You can select the soft pedal
depth from 1 to 10. The default setting is 5.
Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of Equal temperament. When you use a
temperament other than Equal temperament, you must carefully choose the key to play in. For example, if the song you
are going to play is written in D major, choose "D" to set the temperament key.
