Selecting & Playing Voices

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 sus-
tained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord,
for example, while other notes are played “stac-
cato.”
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.
Adding Variations to the Sound – Reverb
This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that add extra depth and expression
to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.
When you select a reverb, the reverb is automatically turned on.
While holding down the
[VOICE]
button, press one of the C2–E2 keys to select a reverb
type.
Adjusting Reverb Depth
Adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice by pressing one of the C3–G
4 keys while
holding down the
[VOICE]
button. The depth range is from 0 through 20.
When you press the sostenuto
pedal here while holding the note,
the note will sustain as long as you
hold the pedal.
