The Soft pedal (left) is a switch control pedal (On/
Off) and affects the timbre of the instrument such
that it plays softer, allowing you to continue using
the same playing style at a lower volume.
The Sostenuto pedal (center) is a switch control
pedal (On/Off) which sustains the notes of the
keys currently depressed. All new notes played
after having depressed the pedal are not affected.
The Damper pedal (right) applies the Sustain ef-
fect to all notes released. If you release a note
after depressing the Damper, the note will proceed
towards its natural decay according to the type of
sound played.
The Damper is particularly effective with Piano
type sounds.
The Damper is controlled by a Physical Model.
See the "Technology" paragraph in the Reference
section.
Note: for all piano type sounds, the notes of the
uppermost keys (from E6 to C8) are automatically
sustained, such as in an acoustic piano.
