Piano Pedals - Samick DCP-12 Manual

Piano Pedals

Just like a regular grand piano, your DCP-12 feature 3 foot pedals:
Damper Pedal (Right)
The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper pedal on an actual
acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound of the voices even after releasing your
fingers from the keys.
Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
The sostenuto pedal also allows you to sustain notes, but it works a little
different f rom the damper pedal. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and
press the sostenuto pedal while the notes are held, those notes will be sustained
as long as the pedal is held. All subsequently played notes will not be sustained.
Soft Pedal (Left)
The soft pedal on an acoustic piano changes the character of the sound, making
it softer and quieter. The soft pedal on your DCP-12 does exactly the same. Press
the soft pedal when you need to play passages that require extreme pianissimo.
