Playing with Different Tones

NOTE

• Under initial default settings, DSP is on for the main

tone, and layer and split are turned off. DSP can be
applied to only one part as shown below.

• You can turn chorus on or off for each main tone,

layer tone, and split tone part.

• You cannot turn reverb on or off for each main tone,

layer tone, and split tone part.

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 the damper pedal while playing will cause
the notes you play to reverberate for a very long
time. When GRAND PIANO 1 is selected as the
tone, using this pedal causes note to reverberate just
like the pedal on an acoustic grand piano.

• Soft Pedal

Pressing this pedal while playing weakens notes
played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed,
and makes them sound softer.

• Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when
this pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal
is released.

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 FUNCTION
button, use the keyboard keys shown below
to select either soft or sostenuto.

Adjusting the Effect Applied when the
Damper Pedal is Pressed Half Way
(With optional SP-30 only)

You can specify to what extent the damper effect
should be applied when you press the damper pedal
half way. A setting in the range of 0 (no effect) to 42
(same effect as full press) can be specified.

While holding down the FUNCTION
button, press one of the keyboard keys
shown below to specify the setting you
want.

̄ : Decreases the effect

̆ : Increases the effect

• To return the volume setting to its initial default,

hold down the FUNCTION button and press
both of the keys at the same time.
