About the Pedals

The pedals have the following functions, and are used
mainly for piano performance.
fig.00-08.e
Soft Pedal
Sostenuto Pedal
Damper pedal (right pedal)
While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after
you take your fingers off the keys.
The length of the sustain changes subtly according to the
extent to which the pedal is depressed.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will
allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the
sounds that you played from the keyboard, adding a rich
resonance.
The KR simulates this damper resonance.
You can change the amount of resonance applied with the damper
pedal. Please refer to "Adjusting the Piano Designer Resonance" (p. 181).
Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)
This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were
already played when you pressed the pedal.
Soft pedal (left pedal)
When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the
sound will have a softer tone.
You can assign functions to the pedal. Refer to "Assigning Functions to
Pedals and Performance Pads (Pedal Setting/User Functions)" (p. 167).
