Pedal Control Applications; Stage Setting Vs. Tone - Casio PX-5S Quick Start Manual

PEDAL CONTROL
some cool pedal control applications
So far, your damper/sustain pedal (which should be connected to the Pedal 1 input) has been producing sustain, to help
notes to ring over after you release the keys, and to connect together smoothly. But the pedals are assignable and can do
other things. Here's a few cool Stage Settings to explore:

STAGE SETTING vs. TONE

understanding a stage setting versus a tone
Now you're ready to understand why we didn't select from the Tones when first picking a sound. It is certainly possible
to do that, but the Stage Settings add extra elements to each sound that are important. All the controller settings you
experienced are created and saved within a Stage Setting. The Chorus, Delay and Reverb effects are set up within it as
well. So the best experience is had when you start with a Stage Setting that was designed for the type of sound you want
to play.

The pedal switches the rotary speaker from spinning slow to fast. It acts as a toggle -
press it once and release it and the spinning goes faster. Press it again when you want the
spinning to slow back down.
The clav is being run through a wah-wah effect, which is a filter you open and close
manually. The pedal is doing this: hold a chord and slowly depress and then release
the pedal – you're in control! Now play rhythmically and work the pedal in time with your
playing, or to accent notes as you like.
