Getting Started — Playing the Keyboard
The [PEDAL UNIT] jack is for connecting a separately sold LP-1 pedal unit.
When connecting the pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit on a
separately sold keyboard stand (L-515).
Damper pedal (right pedal)
When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play
have a longer sustain.
When you select a Voice in the Piano group, pressing
the damper pedal activates the VRM (page 27) to
accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic
grand piano’s soundboard and strings.
This pedal features Half-pedal function.
Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press
the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the
notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All
subsequent notes will not sustain.
Soft pedal (left pedal)
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played
while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already
playing when it is pressed. In order to apply this effect, play notes after pressing the
pedal.
Keep in mind that this pedal function will be changed from the Soft pedal
depending on the selected Voice. When the “Jazz Organ” is selected, pressing and
releasing this pedal switches between “fast” and “slow” of the Rotary Speaker speed
(“Rotary Speed” on page 90). When the Vibraphone is selected, this pedal switches
Vibrato on and off (“VibeRotor” on page 90).
