Basic Operation

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
The sostenuto pedal also allows you to sustain notes, but it works a little different from 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 piano does exactly the same.
Press the soft pedal when you need to play passages that require extreme pianissimo.

Piano Reset

The Piano Reset Function resets selected aspects of the piano voices back to their default
factory state. These elements are carefully selected to give you a quick and easy way
to restore back to being a simple Grand Piano once more, with the Data Control knob
assigned for selecting voices.
Press the [Metronome/Left] button and the [Function/Right] button at the same time. When
both buttons are pressed the display will immediately change to show:
