Headphone Hook
Whenever you are not using the headphones, you can hang
them on the headphone hook.
* Don’t hang anything other than headphones on this hook, and don’t
apply excessive force to it. Doing so may damage the headphone hook.
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.
With the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, when you step on the pedal it will at first offer only a slight amount of
resistance, but as you press down further it will start to feel much heavier. On the unit, this change in the feeling of resistance
is simulated.
On an acoustic piano, when you step on the damper pedal, you’ll first hear the sound of the dampers releasing the strings.
Then, you should also be able to hear the sound of strings adjacent to the ones for the notes actually played resonate
sympathetically, resulting in a rich, resounding tone.
Additionally, when using half-pedaling techniques, the core of the sound disappears rapidly while a rich, spacious resonance
remains, producing a unique form of reverberation. On the unit, the unique, lingering tones produced by the half-pedaling
technique are reproduced in addition to released-string sounds (Damper Noise) and resonating sounds (Damper Resonance).
Sostenuto Pedal
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be sustained.
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 a grand piano. The
softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal.
Turn the adjuster to lower it
until the adjuster is in firm
contact with the floor. In
particular, when you’ve placed
the piano on carpet, you must
turn the adjuster until it is
pressing firmly against the floor.
