Adding Decay to the Sound (Damper
Pedal)
When you depress the Damper (Sustain) pedal, a decay effect will be added
to the voices.
While you continue depressing the damper pedal, notes will be sustained
even if you release the keys.

By default the decay effect will be applied to the voices played on the Lower
keyboard.

You can specify how the
Expression Pedal will affect
the sound when it is
pressed (p. 163).
You can also specify
whether the Expression
Pedal will or will not
control the volume during
the recording of your
performance (p. 162).
Likewise you can specify
whether the Expression
Pedal will or will not
control the volume during
the playback of recorded
performance (p. 162).
You can modify the setting
so that decay is only
applied to notes played on
the Upper keyboard (p.
163).
NOTE
Decay cannot be added to
the Solo voices.
Decay can be applied to
Pedal Bass voices played
on the Lower keyboard
(when the [To Lower] or
[Bass Split] button
indicators are lit). In this
case, a decay will not be
applied to the pedal bass
voice.
