Details on the pedal functions are listed here. For functions indicated with “ * “, use only the foot controller; proper
operation cannot be done with a footswitch.
Assignable Pedal Functions
VOLUME* Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume.
SUSTAIN Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal,
all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immedi-
ately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
SOSTENUTO Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on
the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as
long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it
possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.
SOFT Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the vol-
ume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain
appropriate Voices.
GLIDE When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when
the pedal is released.
PORTAMENTO The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal
is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is
played while the preceding note is still held). Portamento Time can also be adjusted
from the Mixing Console (page 86). This function does not affect certain Natural Voices,
which would not sound appropriately with this function.
PITCH BEND* Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal.
MODULATION* Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. The effect becomes deeper
when pressing down the foot controller. You can turn this function on/off for each key-
board part on this display.
DSP VARIATION Switches Voice Effect DSP VARIATION on and off.
HARMONY/ECHO Switches the HARMONY/ECHO Voice Effect on and off.
