Playing with Different Tones

Specifying the Keyboard Tone Split Point

1

While holding down the SPLIT button,
press the keyboard key where you want the
left limit of the high range (right) tone to
be.

• A note does not sound when you press a

keyboard key at this time.

NOTE

• The split point setting also controls the point where

the keyboard splits between the accompaniment
keyboard (pages E-12, 13) and the melody
keyboard. Moving the split point also affects the
sizes of the accompaniment keyboard and the
melody keyboard.

Using the Piano’s Pedals

The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks,
one for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto
pedal.

Pedal functions
• Damper pedal

Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and
to sustain longer.

• 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.

Selecting the Pedal Function

A pedal connected to the piano’s PEDAL jack can
operate as either a soft pedal or a sostenuto pedal.
When you turn on the keyboard, the pedal is initially
configured for soft pedal operation. You can perform
the following operation to select either soft or
sostenuto for the pedal operation.

While holding down the CONTROL
button, use the keyboard keys shown below
to select either soft or sostenuto.
