Before You Play
The pedals perform the following operations. You’ll use them
mainly when playing piano.
fig.Pedals-e.eps
Damper Pedal (right pedal)
Use this pedal to sustain the sound.
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.
When you press the damper pedal of an acoustic piano, a slight
noise is heard when the damper frees the strings, and a richly
spacious resonance is added by the strings that vibrate in
sympathy with the strings of the notes you actually play. The LX-
10 replicates the sound created when the damper releases the
string (“damper noise”) and the sympathetic vibration (“damper
resonance”).
You can modify the sound of the damper releasing the
string and the sound of the sympathetic vibration.
Refer to the Piano Designer function (p. 29) settings
“Damper Noise” and “Damper Resonance.”
Sostenuto Pedal (center pedal)
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be
sustained.
Soft Pedal (left pedal)
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is
not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent
strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic
piano.
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to
which you press the pedal.
You can switch the function of the sostenuto pedal.
Refer to “Changing How the Pedals Work (Center/Left
If you disconnect the pedal cable from the LX-10 while
the power is turned on, the pedal effect will remain
applied. You must connect or disconnect the pedal
cable while the LX-10’s power is switched off.
About the Adjuster
If you feel that the pedal is unstable (for example if you’ve moved
the LX-10 to a different location), you can adjust the adjuster
located on the bottom of the pedals as follows.
•
Turn the adjuster to lower it until the adjuster is in firm
contact with the floor. The pedal may be damaged if there is
a gap between the adjuster and the floor. In particular, when
you’ve placed the LX-10 on carpet, you must turn the
adjuster until it is pressing firmly against the floor.
