Assignable Pedal Functions
For functions indicated with “*”, use only the Foot Controller; proper operation cannot be done with a Footswitch.
For functions indicated with “**”, they can be assigned also to the ASSIGNABLE [1] – [4] buttons.
Articulation 1/2** When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/
footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch.
Volume* Controls the volume. This function is available only for the foot controller connected
to the instrument’s [AUX PEDAL] jack.
Sustain Controls the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal, all notes played on the
keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any
sustained notes. The “Half Pedal Point” parameter allows you to specify how far down
you should press on the pedal until the damper effect starts working. This can be set
for all pedals on the CVP-709, as well as the right pedal and the foot controller
connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack on the CVP-705.
Sostenuto Controls the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the
pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held.
However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a
chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.
NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super
Articulation Voices.
Soft Controls the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and changes the timbre
of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain appropriate Voices. The “Half
Pedal Point” parameter allows you to specify how far down you should press on the
pedal until the soft effect starts working. This can be set for all pedals on the CVP-709,
as well as the right pedal and the foot controller connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack
on the CVP-705.
Glide When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when
the pedal is released.
• Up/Down: Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is
lowered).
• Range: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
• On Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is pressed.
• Off Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is released.
Portamento The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal
is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is
played while the preceding note is still held). The portamento time can also be adjusted
form the Voice Edit display (
page 43 ). This function does not affect certain Natural
Voices, which would not sound appropriately with this function.
NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes, Super Articulation 2 Voices (CVP-709
only) and only some of the Super Articulation Voices.
Pitch Bend* Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. This function can
be assigned to all pedals on the CVP-709, as well as the right pedal and the foot
controller connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack on the CVP-705.
• Up/Down: Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is
lowered).
• Range: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
Modulation* Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. Moreover, various effects can
be added to the Super Articulation Voice. The effect becomes deeper when pressing
down the foot controller.
Modulation (Alt) Unlike the Modulation above, pressing the pedal or footswitch alternates the on/off
status of the vibrato effect.
Effect Variation On/Off** Switches the Insertion Effect Variation ( page 45 ) on and off.
