An LP-255 Pedal Unit (sold separately) can be con-
nected if you wish to play the digital piano using a full
set of three pedals. In such a case, please set up the
instrument and pedal unit on an L-255 Keyboard
Stand (sold separately).
Damper pedal
Located at the right of the pedal unit, the damper
pedal allows notes played while it is operated to sus-
tain for longer than normal after you release the corre-
sponding keys. This pedal supports half-damper
playing—the more you operate it, the longer the notes
sustain.
Damper-pedal resonance
Yo
u
r digital piano’s damper resonance f
u
nction recreates the
effect of resonance

etween indi
v
id
u
al piano strings when
the damper pedal is operated. The depth of this resonance
can
b
e set
u
sing the corresponding F
u
nction parameter
Sostenuto pedal
The pedal located at the middle of the pedal unit is
known as the sostenuto pedal. If you play a note or
chord on the keyboard and operate this pedal before
releasing the keys, the corresponding notes will sus-
tain until you allow the pedal to return. Notes played
while the pedal is operated are not affected, meaning
that you can play a staccato melody over a sustained
chord.
Soft pedal
Located at the left of the pedal unit, the soft pedal
slightly lowers the volume and softens the timbre of
notes played while it is being operated. This effect
lasts until the pedal is released. Because the soft pedal
has no effect on notes already playing, you should
operate it just before playing the notes to be softened.
Using pedals for Play and Stop operations
