PEDAL TO LOWER, PEDAL SUSTAIN
Using the lowest note of the Lower keyboard, you can play the PEDAL part together
(Pedal To Lower).
A popular option for playing the Pedals or Pedal To Lower is Pedal Sustain, which al-
lows the Pedal voice to smoothly decay upon release, much in the manner of a string
bass.
COUPLER
Like the Pedal To Lower, the function to set a
keyboard to play two keyboards together is
called “COUPLER”.
[PEDAL TO LOWER] button
Toggles the Pedal To Lower “ON”(LED lit) and “OFF”.
Th e keyboard that functions as the Pedal To Lower is the Lower range itself if it is on the
XK-5 stand-alone, and the Lower keyboard if the Lower keyboard is added to the XK-5.
Th e default range of the Pedal To Lower is up to the middle “B”.
NOTE: You can change the highest note range of the Pedal To Lower (P. 126 #2).
NOTE: You can select the Pedal To Lower play chords or only the lowest note (P. 126 #1).
[PEDAL SUSTAIN] button
Toggles the Pedal Sustain “ON”(LED lit) and “OFF”.
After releasing your foot from the Pedal keyboard (or, if you release your
fi nger from
the Manual keyboard when you are using the Pedal To Lower) (= explained later in this
manual), the sound will slowly fade, or decay.
NOTE: You can control the decay time of the Pedal Sustain (P. 75).
