The C-550 have three types of pedals:
damper, sostenuto, and soft.
Here's how to use these pedals
as you play.
1 1 1 1 1 Soft pedal
While the pedal is pressed, the
sound will be softer and more gentle. The depth to
which you press the pedal will affect the softness of
the sound (half-pedal effect).
2 2 2 2 2 Sostenuto pedal
The damper effect will be applied only to the sound
of notes which are already pressed when this pedal
is pressed, and these notes will be sustained while
the pedal remains pressed.The effect will not apply
to notes which are newly played after pressing this
pedal.
3 3 3 3 3 Damper pedal
Notes will be sustained while the pedal is pressed,
producing a rich resonance. The depth to which you
press the pedal will affect the degree of the effect
(half-pedal effect).
When [PIANO1] or [PIANO2]
are selected, setting [SURROUND] to "PRESET" will
produce an effect that simulates the resonance of an
acoustic piano's strings.
When the Layer function is used, you can specify
which of the two layered sounds the damper pedal
will affect. For example you can change the settings
so that the damper pedal applies to the piano sound
but not to the string sound as you play.
