Programming the pedals

By default, the three pedals act (from right to left) as damper,
sostenuto and soft. You can freely reassign them according to
your need or preference. You can either assign them to the
sounds by these pages, or globally (see page 52). Global pro-
gramming override these settings.

damper, rotary speaker speed and glide; use global program-

Use the SCROLL buttons to move the cursor to the M
(Main) or L (Layer/Left) parameter. Use the +/YES and -/
NO buttons to choose the required function.
You can assign different functions to the Main and Layer/
Left sounds, depending on the type of sound. This allows
for a great flexibility in pedal assignment. Some examples:
• A Grand Piano is the Main sound, and a String Ensemble
is the Layer sound. Pedal 1 triggers the Damper effect for
the Piano sound only (it is Off for the Layer sound),

Pedal 3 triggers the Soft effect for both sounds.
• A Grand Piano is the Main sound, and an Acoustic Bass is
the Left sound. The Damper effect is assigned to the Main
sound on Pedal 1 (it is Off for the Left sound), while the
Glide effect is assigned to the Left sound on Pedal 3 (it is
Off for the Main sound). When you want Piano notes to
be held, press the rightmost pedal (#1) as in a traditional
piano; when you want the Bass to glide, press the leftmost
pedal (#3). You can use both pedals at the same time.
