Using the Pedals
As with a grand piano, the CA97/CA67 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.
„ Sustain pedal (right pedal)
Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands have
been lifted from the keyboard – greatly enriching the piano
sound, while also assisting smooth ‘legato’ passages.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.
Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Sustain pedal
„ Soft pedal (left pedal)
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
When the rotary speaker effect is selected, the soft pedal is also
used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between
‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ effect modes.
„ Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)
Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before
releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that
have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after
the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.
„ Pedal support bolt
A pedal support bolt is attached at the base of the pedal board
to aid stability when the pedals are pushed.
Turn the bolt anti-clockwise until it makes contact with the floor
and supports the pedals firmly. If the pedal support bolt does
not make contact with the floor, the pedal board may become
damaged.
When moving the instrument, always adjust or remove the pedal
support bolt, then readjust when the instrument is in its new position.
„ Caring for the pedals
If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge.
Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or files.
„ Grand Feel Pedal System
The CA97/C65 digital piano features the Grand Feel Pedal System, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal weighting
of Kawai’s EX Concert Grand piano. It is also possible to adjust the sensitivity of the sustain/damper pedal, and the effectiveness of
the soft pedal using the ‘Half-Pedal Adjust’ and ‘Soft Pedal Depth’ settings.
