F5. Other Functions

This section provides a variety of other func-
tions, including letting you assign the opera-
tion of the AUX pedal to one of several
settings, and allowing you to select specific
song channels for playback.
F5.1: AUX Pedal
Setting range:
1. Soft Pedal
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly
changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is
pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are
already playing.
2. Sostenuto pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press
the pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will
be sustained for as long as the pedal is held (as if the
sustain pedal had been pressed) but all notes played
thereafter will not be sustained. This makes it possible
to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are
played "staccato."
NOTE
Organ, string and choir voices will continue to sound for as long
as the sostenuto pedal is depressed.
3. Expression
This setting allows control of dynamics during perfor-
mance.
4. Song Play/Pause
This setting allows you to start or pause song play-
back. In this setting, the AUX Pedal functions in the
same manner as the
[PLAY/PAUSE]
panel.

The voice features special "Sustain
GRAND PIANO 1

tic grand piano's soundboard and strings when the sus-
tain pedal is pressed. This function lets you adjust the
depth of this effect.

Setting range:
Default setting: ALL

mitted via MIDI.

Depending upon the pedal that is connected to the SUS-
TAIN PEDAL jack or AUX PEDAL jack, the effect pro-

pedal operation. The setting range is from 1 to 2.

board and the part (channels 1 & 2).
