Legend ‘70s – User Manual
Switching on and basic functions
Connecting pedals
Legend ‘70s
can be played with several kinds of pedals: foot switches, on-off pedals that can be used to control
functions and binary parameters; Half-Damper Sustain pedals that can be used in conjunction with the Half-
Damper function, foot controllers for continuous control parameters; triple pedals, to imitate the three pedals of
acoustic pianos. Pedals must be plugged to the dedicated connectors on the rear panel. However, they need
different jacks and can be assigned to different functions as described below.
Sustain pedal
The PEDAL [SUSTAIN] connector is dedicated
to sustain pedals. Plug here a foot switch of the
on-off type to use as a sustain pedal on an
acoustic piano. When this pedal is pressed,
notes played on the keyboard will resonate with
a longer decay time, even after the key has
been released.
Use this connector with a sustain half-damper
pedal to use the "half pedaling" technique.
When doing so, the damper effect varies
according to pedal pressure.
Another option is using the Studiologic SLP3-
PD pedal group, to have all three acoustic
pianos pedals at your disposal. The SLP3-
D triple pedal controls the ‚Soft‛ effect (also known as ‚una corda‛)
with the left pedal, the "Sostenuto" ef
fect with the middle pedal and the ‚Sustain‛ effect (damper) with the right
pedal, working as "half-damper".
However, other functions can be assigned to the left and middle pedal, so as to use the triple pedal with sounds
other than acoustic piano.
Foot switch
Use the PEDAL [FOOT SWITCH 1] and [FOOT
SWITCH 2] connectors to plug in foot switch
pedals. These pedals can be assigned to
different functions, such as switching on / off a
module or an effect, controlling the "Sostenuto"
or soft effects on acoustic piano sounds, etc.
Furthermore,
Legend ‘70s
is equipped with a
PEDAL [PROGRAM + / -] connector for two-
switch pedals that can be used to select the
next or previous Program.
Regular (one switch) foot switch pedals can also
be connected to this port. When doing so, the
foot switch will only select the next or previous
Program.
Foot switches are not included. There are two types of foot switches on the market: N.O.(Normally Open) and
N.C. (Normally Closed). The footswitch polarity (N.O. or N.C.) must be set correctly on the instrument.
NB
- The sustain pedal can be used on the A.PIANO module to generate the "sympathetic" vibration of piano strings
and mechanical sounds caused by the damper moving.
- When using the triple pedal, the left and middle pedal use the same functions assigned to [FOOT SWITCH 1] and
[FOOT SWITCH 2], respectively.
- To ensure that the sustain pedal works properly, manually select the pedal type on the instrument (see the Sustain
Type parameter, page 56 ).
