Controlling Sounds; Using A Pedal - Casio MZ-X300 User Manual

Controlling Sounds

Using a Pedal

Connecting a pedal lets you perform pedal operations
that add various effects during your performances.
Some representative effects are described below. You
can also assign a variety of other functions to the pedal.
For details, see "CONTROLLER Screen" under
"Configuring Digital Keyboard Settings" (page EN-56).
 Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the
notes you play to reverberate.
 Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal suppresses notes played on the
keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes them
sound softer.
 Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this
pedal is pressed are sustained, even if the keyboard
keys are released, until the pedal is released.
 Expression Pedal
You can use a pedal to control the volume level and
effect application.
