Using Headphones
Damper
| The pedal works as a damper pedal, so you can add
| lingering reverberations to notes. While the pedal is
depressed, long lingering reverberations continue to be
added to the sound after you release from the keys.
Soft
| The pedal works as a soft pedal, so you can make notes
_ softer.
Playing
the
keyboard
while
the pedal
is
| depressed makes the sounded notes softer than when
| you finger them with the same velocity in the normal
| manner, without the pedal.
You can also use Soft as a sostenuto or expression
MEMO
pedal. Take a look at "Changing How the Pedals
Work" (p. 20).
When you connect pedals to both the Damper and
MEMO
Soft pedal jacks, you can use the two functions at the
same time. To do this, you need to purchase another
pedal (DP-6).
Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the
Nort
power is on may cause the pedal's effect to be applied
without stopping. Be sure to switch off the power to
the unit before attempting to disconnect or connect a
pedal cord.
The unit's speakers will go silent when you plug in headphones
(RH-20/80/120 or the like; sold separately). This makes it conve-
nient for playing at night, or at other times when you do not
want to disturb others.
