The mark at the top of the [Volume] knob indicates the
volume level typically produced by an acoustic piano.
This is usually the most appropriate volume for your
piano performances.
You can adjust the volume with the remote control. For
details, refer to “About the Remote Control” (p. 34).
About the Pedals
The pedals have the following functions, and are used
mainly for piano performance.
fig.00-08.e
Damper pedal (right pedal)
While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after
you take your fingers off the keys.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will
allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the
sounds that you played from the keyboard, adding a rich
resonance.
The RG-7 simulates this Damper Resonance.
You can change the amount of resonance applied with
the damper pedal. Please refer to “Producing the
Resonance of the Strings When the Keys Are Played
(Damper Resonance)” (p. 59).
Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)
This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were
already played when you pressed the pedal.
Soft pedal (left pedal)
When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the
sound will have a softer tone.
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to
which you press the pedal.
You can assign functions to the left and center pedals.
Refer to “Assigning Functions to Pedals” (p. 69).
