About the pedals
The pedals perform the following operations. You’ll use
them mainly playing piano.
fig.PianoPedal.eps
Damper Pedal (right pedal)
While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an
extended time even if you release your fingers from the
keyboard.
The length of sustain will change subtly depending on how
deeply you press the pedal.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will
cause the strings for notes other than the ones you actually
play to vibrate in sympathy with what you’ve played,
producing a rich resonance. The RK-300 simulates this
sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).
Sostenuto Pedal (center pedal)
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will
be sustained.
Soft Pedal (left pedal)
If you hold down this pedal, the notes will be softer in tone.
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to
which you press the pedal.
Connect the pedal (DP-10) included with the RK-300 to the
CONTROL PEDAL jack on the rear panel.

* With the factory settings, the pedal connected to the
CONTROL PEDAL jack will function as a “damper pedal.”
You can assign other functions to the pedal connected to
the CONTROL PEDAL jack, and use your foot to control these
functions.
