pedal to turn the sustain effect off

When the soft pedal is selected, pressing this pedal will make the notes you 

play sound softer.

the registration memory “1-1”, and then you can call up each memory one by 

one. The memory number on LCD will be updated in sync. 

Note: 

If the current memory recalled contains pedal settings, these pedal settings will be neglected.
