Using the Pedals
As with a grand piano, the CS4 digital piano features
three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.
Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal

Sostenuto pedal
Sustain pedal
„ 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 (left pedal)
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
When the rotary speaker eff ect is selected, the soft pedal is also
used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between
‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ eff ect 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
If the pedal support bolt does not make contact with the fl oor,
the pedal board may become damaged. Ensure that this bolt
is fully extended and supports the pedals fi rmly.
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 fi les.
„ Grand Feel pedal system
The CS4 digital piano features the Grand Feel pedal system, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal weighting of
Kawai’s EX Concert Grand piano.
