Before You Play
Connect the included pedal to one of the Pedal jacks.
The operation of the pedal will differ depending on the jack to
which it’s connected.

Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the
power is on may cause the pedal’s effect to be
applied without stopping. The power of the FP-7 must
be turned off before inserting or removing a pedal
cord.
By obtaining a second and third pedal, you can then
use three pedals simultaneously. If you wish to
purchase the optional pedal (DP series), please
contact the dealer where you purchased the FP-7.
You can connect the expression pedal to the
Sostenuto/ (FC1) or the Soft/ (FC2) jack to adjust the
volume. Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-
5; sold separately). By connecting any other
expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction
and/or damage to the unit.
Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound.
While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an
extended time even if you release your fingers from the
keyboard.
The pedal included with the FP-7 functions as a half-damper
pedal, which allows you to adjust the amount of resonance.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will
cause the strings for notes other than the ones you actually
play to vibrate in sympathy with what you’ve played,
producing a rich resonance. The FP-7 simulates this
sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).
Set the switch on the included pedal to “Continuous”
when the pedal is connected.
Sostenuto Pedal
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will
be sustained.
With the pedal connected to the Sostenuto / (FC1)
jack, it can be assigned other functions as well. Refer
to “Changing How the Pedals Work” (p. 118),
“Using a Pedal to Switch Registrations” (p. 91).
Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is
not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent
strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an
acoustic piano.
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to
which you press the pedal.
With the pedal connected to the Soft / (FC2) jack, it
can be assigned other functions as well. Refer to
“Changing How the Pedals Work” (p. 118), “Using
a Pedal to Switch Registrations” (p. 91).
