Using the Piano's Pedals

The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks, one
for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal.
Pedal functions
• Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause
the notes you play to reverberate for a very long
time. When GRAND PIANO 1 is selected as the
tone, using this pedal causes note to reverberate just
like the pedal on an acoustic grand piano.
• Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal while playing weakens notes
played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed,
and makes them sound softer.
• Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when
this pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal
is released.
