Using the Pedals

The Clavinova has three foot pedals that produce a range
of expressive effects similar to those produced by the
pedals on an acoustic piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper
pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal
immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
When you select the GRAND PIANO 1
130, pressing the damper pedal activates the instrument's
special "Sustain Samples" to accurately recreate the
unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano's sound-
board and strings.

each voice (page 16). Refer to
"Preset Voice List" on page 63
for more information on the
characteristics of each preset
voice.
Voice:
On the Clavinova, a voice
means a "tone" or "tonal color."
You can control the loudness of
a voice by adjusting the force
with which you strike the keys,
although different playing styles
(touch sensitivities) have little or
no effect with certain musical
instruments.
Refer to "Preset Voice List" on
page 63.
If the damper pedal doesn't
work, make sure that the pedal
cord is properly plugged into the
main unit (page 61: CLP-130,
page 58: CLP-120).
The depth of the effect pro-
duced by the "Sustain Samples"
can be adjusted via the "Pedal
Functions" (page 44) in Func-
tion mode.
