Using A Pedal - Casio Casiotone CT-S500 User Manual

Using a Pedal

Connecting a pedal lets you perform pedal operations that add various effects during your
performances. The PEDAL1 jack is compatible with switch pedals that pedal release, and the
PEDAL2/EXPRESSION jack is compatible with both volume pedals and switch pedals that detect the
amount of depression.
This Digital Keyboard does not come with a pedal unit. Purchase one separately.

Using a Switch Pedal
1.
Connect a pedal to the PEDAL1 or PEDAL2/EXPRESSION jack.
• Under initial default settings, pedal sustain is assigned to the PEDAL1 jack so it can be used as
a damper pedal.
• Under initial default settings, the soft function is assigned to the PEDAL2/EXPRESSION jack
so it can be used as a soft pedal.
2.
Depress and release the pedal as you play the keyboard.
• With the pedal sustain function, notes are sustained as long as you hold down the pedal, even if
you release the keyboard keys.
