Playing the Keyboard
The instrument has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the
pedals on an acoustic piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an
acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer.
Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. The
damper pedal features a half-pedal function.
What is the half-pedal function?
This function allows the sustain length to vary depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther you press the
pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if you press the damper pedal and all notes you are playing sound a
bit murky and loud with too much sustain, you can release the pedal half way to subdue the sustain (murkiness).
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal
while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold the
pedal (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently
played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a
chord, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.”
Soft (Left) Pedal
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The
soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed.
Connect a pair of headphones to one of the [PHONES] jacks located on
the bottom left of the instrument. When the headphones are plugged into
either of the [PHONES] jacks, the internal speaker system is automati-
cally shut off
Two [PHONES] jacks are provided. You can connect two sets of stan-
dard stereo headphones. (If you are using only one pair of headphones,
you can plug them into either jack.)
CAUTION
Do not listen to the instrument at a high volume level through headphones for a
long period of time, or your hearing may be damaged.
