About the Pedals
The pedals have the following functions, and are used
mainly for piano performance.
fig.00-08.e
Damper pedal (right pedal)
While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after
you take your fingers off the keys.
The length of the sustain changes subtly according to the
extent to which the pedal is depressed.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will
allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the
sounds that you played from the keyboard, adding a rich
resonance.
The KR107 simulates this damper resonance.
You can change the amount of resonance applied with the damper
pedal. Please refer to “[Piano Designer] button” in the Quick Manual.
Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)
This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were
already played when you pressed the pedal.
Soft pedal (left pedal)
When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the
sound will have a softer tone.
The softness of the sound changes subtly depending on the
extent to which the pedal is depressed.
About the Adjuster
When you move the KR107 or if you feel that the pedals are
unstable, adjust the adjuster located below the pedals as
follows.
❍ Rotate the adjuster to lower it so that it is in firm contact
with the floor. If there is a gap between the pedals and
the floor, the pedals may be damaged. In particular
when placing the instrument on carpet, adjust this so
that the pedals firmly contact the floor.

Connecting Headphones
The KR107 has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This
allows two people to listen through headphones
simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and when
performing piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this
allows you to play without having to worry about bothering
others around you, even at night.
Plug the headphones into the Phones jack located at the
bottom left of the piano.
Connecting headphones will automatically mute the
sound from the internal speakers.
The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume]
knob of the KR107.
