 Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
When the Piano Voice is selected, if you play a note or chord on the keyboard
and press this pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as
the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.
When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for
the Voice is automatically assigned to the center pedal.
 Soft Pedal (Left)
When the Piano Voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of
the notes you play. When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for the Voice
is automatically assigned to the left pedal.
You can adjust the depth of the Soft pedal effect on the display called up via [Menu] → [Assignable] →
[Pedal]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).
The [METRONOME ON/OFF] button lets you start or stop the metronome. The metronome provides a
click sound, giving you an accurate tempo guide when you practice, or letting you hear and check how a
specific tempo sounds.
NOTE
You can also change the time signature, volume and sound of the metronome on the display called up via [Menu]  [Metronome] 
[Metronome].
GP Responsive Damper Pedal (CVP-709 only)
This special pedal has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and, when pressed, is much closer in feel
to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier to physically experience the half-pedal point and more easily
apply the half-pedal effect than other pedals.
Since the pressing sensation may vary depending on the situation, including the location where the instrument is
installed, you can adjust the half-pedal point to the desired setting on the display called up via [Menu] →
[Assignable] → [Pedal]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).
NOTE
The pedals are fitted with covers when shipped from the factory. Remove the cover from the pedals for optimum use of the GP
Responsive Damper Pedal’s effect.
Assigning a function to each pedal
Various functions can be assigned to each of the three pedals and a foot controller/footswitch (sold separately) —
including start/stop of Song playback and controlling a Super Articulation Voice. These can be set on the display
called up via [Menu] → [Assignable] → [Pedal]. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).
Using the Metronome
If you press and hold the
sostenuto pedal here, only the
notes held at this timing will be
sustained.
