SOSTENUTO

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
The sostenuto pedal also allows you to su stain notes, but it works a little
different f rom the damper pedal. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and
press the sostenuto pedal while the notes are held, those notes will be sustained
as long as the pedal is held. All subsequently played notes will not be sustai ned.
SOFT
Soft Pedal (Left)
The soft pedal on an acoustic piano changes the character of the sound, making
it softer and quieter. The soft pedal on your DCP-8 does exactly the same.
Press the soft pedal when you need to play passages that require extreme pianissimo.
