Using the Pedals
The H01 has three foot pedals: damper
(right) pedal, sostenuto (center) pedal,
and soft (left) pedal that produce a
range of expressive effects similar to
those produced by the pedals on an
acoustic piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the
same way as a damper pedal on an
acoustic piano. When the damper
pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer.
Releasing the pedal immediately stops
(damps) any sustained notes.
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the key-
board and press the sostenuto pedal
while the note(s) are held, those notes
will sustain as long as you hold the
pedal (as if the damper pedal had
been pressed) but all subsequently
played notes will not be sustained.
This makes it possible to sustain a
chord, for example, while other notes
are played “staccato.”
Soft (Left) Pedal
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes
played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are
already playing when it is pressed.
If the damper pedal doesn’t work,
make sure that the pedal cord is
properly plugged into the main
unit (page 24).
NOTE
When you press the damper pedal
here, the notes you play before you
release the pedal sustain longer.
Organ and string voices will con-
tinue to sound for as long as the
sostenuto pedal is depressed.
NOTE
When you press the sostenuto
pedal here while holding the note,
the note will sustain as long as you
hold the pedal.
