Basic Operation and the Main Screen
The pedals have the following functions, and are used mainly for
piano performance.
fig.pedal-e
Damper Pedal (right pedal)
While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after you
take your fingers off the keys.
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 HPi-6 simulates this damper resonance.
→
You can adjust the amount of damper resonance that occurs when you
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 Sostenuto pedal and Soft pedal can be given functions other than
these. Refer to “Notation Screen” (p. 24) and “Changing the Pedal
Functions (Pedal)” (p. 82).
About the Adjuster
When you move the HPi-6 or if you feel that the pedals are unstable,
adjust the adjuster located below the pedals as follows.
• Rotate the adjustor 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.
