Using A Damper Pedal; Effects; The Metronome - Korg D1WH Owner's Manual

Using a damper pedal

You can use the pedal to make your playing more expres-
sive and realistic.
Pressing this pedal will sustain the sound, producing a
richly resonant decay. You can also add the damper reso-
nance to the concert piano, the grand piano and the jazz
piano sound (bank 1 and 2 of Piano1, bank 1 of Piano2).
Using the optional damper pedal DS-1H will let you vary
the amount of damper that's applied according to how
deeply you press the pedal ("half-pedaling").
In Layer mode, you can select the sound(s) where you
want to apply the damper effect. (refer to "Pedal of
layer mode" on page 12)

The setting can be changed by holding down the BRIL-
LIANCE button and pressing the + or – button beside the
display.
The setting appears in the display with 3 producing a
brighter sound and 1 producing a less bright sound.
The same setting is applied to all sounds and remains ap-
plied until the D1 is turned off. When the instrument is
turned on, the default setting 2 is selected.
Brilliance cannot be turned off.
Reverb

ing the sense of performing in a concert hall. As a factory

fect on (button lights up) or off (button turns off).
