SUSTAIN AND SOSTENUTO PEDALS
The SPM-1 responds to all sustain and sostenuto pedal messages received from the master keyboard via MIDI. It
also has a jack on its rear panel for connecting an optional ENSONIQ Model SW-5 foot pedal, which will affect only
the SPM-1. The sustain and sostenuto pedals function the same as they do on an acoustic grand piano.
The sustain pedal will hold any notes played while the pedal is depressed as though the key itself were held down.
The sostenuto pedal will sustain only those notes being held down when the pedal is depressed. Notes played
after the pedal is depressed will not be sustained. This feature is useful when you want to play a melody on top of
a sustained chord. The technique is as follows: first play the note or chord, then while holding down the keys,
depress the sostenuto pedal. Release the keys and the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held down, or until
the notes naturally decay.
TUNING
Tuning the SPM-1 is considerably less bothersome than any other piano, electric or acoustic. There is a small
screwdriver-adjustable control on the back panel of the Piano labelled “Tuning A440.” The detent position of the
tuning control corresponds to A440 concert pitch.
Turning the screw clockwise from the detent will lower the pitch of the piano below A440. The range of this tuning
control is approximately two semi-tones. When changing the fine tune, keep striking a key to hear the new pitch.
The pitch changes only when a key is struck and will not change if a key is held down while adjusting the control.
