Using The Pedals - Kawai CONCERT ARTIST CA63 Owner's Manual

Using the Pedals

As with a grand piano, the CA93/CA63 digital piano
features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.
Sustain pedal (right pedal)
Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one's hands
have been lifted from the keyboard - greatly enriching the
piano sound, while also assisting smooth 'legato' passages.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.
Soft pedal (left pedal)
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
When the rotary speaker effect is selected, the soft pedal is also
used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between
Slow and Fast effect modes.
Pedal support bolt
If the pedal support bolt does not make contact with the floor,
the pedal board may become damaged. Ensure that this bolt
is fully extended and supports the pedals firmly.
Caring for the pedals
If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge.
Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or files.
Soft pedal Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal Sostenuto pedal
Sustain pedal Sustain pedal
Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)
Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before
releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that
have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after
the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.
