Using the Pedals
This digital piano comes equipped with the three pedals
shown in the illustration below.
Pedal functions
• Damper pedal
Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to
sustain longer. In the case of the PIPE ORGAN and
STRINGS tones, pressing this pedal sustains the notes
played until you release the pedal.
• Soft pedal
Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces
their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed
are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is
pressed sound at their normal volume.
• Sostenuto pedal
Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to
reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between
the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With
the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing
the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose
keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is
pressed are affected.
