Using The Digital Piano's Pedals; Using The Metronome - Casio Privia PX-850 User Manual

Using the Digital Piano's
Pedals
Your Digital Piano comes equipped with three pedals:
damper, soft, and sostenuto
Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Pedal Functions
Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the
notes you play to reverberate for a long time.
• When a GRAND PIANO tone (CONCERT,
MODERN, CLASSIC, MELLOW, BRIGHT) is
selected as the tone, pressing this pedal will cause
notes to reverberate (with damper resonance) just
like the damper pedal on an acoustic grand piano.
Half-pedal operation (pressing the pedal part way)
is also supported.
Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal while playing suppresses 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.
