Using the expression pedal enables you to give your performances even richer
musical expressiveness.

The expression pedal features the following special characteristics:

• Completely releasing the expression pedal does not lower the volume to

zero. If you do want to turn down the volume completely, set the [Master
Volume] slider to the Min (Minimum) position.

• Even as you release your foot from the expression pedal and lower the

volume, the lower-range portion will linger on. This provides a natural-
sounding resonance.

• When an Active Expression voice is selected, the expression pedal can be

used to produce changes in the voice (p. 59).
