The Keyboard and Pedals
The Keyboard and Pedals
The keyboard of the RE-220 consists of 88 weighted keys with an action designed to simulate
the feel of an acoustic piano. Just as with an acoustic piano, the harder you press the keys of
the RE-220 (more precisely, the faster you strike them), the louder and brighter the resulting
sound is. In technical terms, this is called "Velocity-Sensitive". It makes the RE-220 a truly
expressive instrument. See “Keyboard Touch” parameter at page 35 for information on
adjusting the velocity-sensitive to suit your preference (NOTE: The organ and harpsichord
sounds purposely aren't velocity-sensitive, in order to be more realistic; real organ and
harpsichords aren't velocity-sensitive.)
The Keyboard
In addition to the expressiveness offered by the keyboard, there are three pedals
that provide you with further control over the sounds of the RE-220. These
pedals have the same function as those on a grand piano, which are, from left to
right:
SOFT The soft pedal reduces the volume while the pedal is pressed.
The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing
when it is pressed.
SOSTENUTO
If you play a note on the keyboard and press the sostenuto
pedal while the notes are held, those notes will sustain as long
as you hold the pedal. But all sebsequently played notes will
not be sustained.
SUSTAIN
The sustain pedal (rightmost pedal) functions in the same way
as the damper pedal of an acoustic piano. When the sustain
pedal is pressed, notes continue to play after their keys have
been released. Releasing the pedal will silence the sustained
notes.
