Using the Piano Pedals
The LH-1 piano has three (3) pedals, identical to those found on an acoustic Grand Piano.
SOFT SOSTENUTO SUSTAIN
Sustain Pedal
Depressing the SUSTAIN PEDAL causes sound to be sustained even after you remove your
hands from the keyboard.
Sostenuto Pedal
Depressing this pedal after pressing the keyboard and before releasing the keys, sustains the
sound of only the keys just played.
Soft Pedal
Depressing this pedal softens the character and volume of the selected piano voice.
Transpose
The TRANSPOSE function can be activated with any sound, or with the HYMNS &
CHILDRENS SONGS feature. The TRANSPOSE function changes the keyboard pitch by
semitones, down (–) 12 semitones or up (+) 12 semitones.
Select or Return both +
Choose any one of the sounds. Then, press the left TRANSPOSE button one (1) time.
Notice that a “C” key will be heard as a “B” note. The pitch of the LH-1 has been shifted
downward by one semitone. The lamp in the left TRANSPOSE button will light to alert
you that the TRANSPOSE feature is activated. Also, a box in the Display will appear to tell
you that the LH-1 is transposed down one semitone (TRANSPOSE –1).
Now press the right TRANSPOSE button one (1) time. The LH-1 will return to standard
pitch, the lamp on the TRANSPOSE button will go off, and the TRANSPOSE box in the
Display will disappear. When you press the right TRANSPOSE button again, the pitch will
be raised by one semitone (so a played “C” will be heard as a “C#”). The lamp in the right
TRANSPOSE button will light and a box in the Display will appear showing TRANSPOSE
+1.
NOTE: To return to standard pitch at any time, press both TRANSPOSE buttons
simultaneously. The lamps will go out to indicate standard pitch.
