Chapter 4 Other Functions

Changing the Damper Pedal’s Resonance

On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes the notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper pedal on the FP-3 recreates this resonance (Sympathetic Resonance) when depressed.

You can select from ten levels of depth for the resonant sound (resonance level).

This is set to “5” when the instrument is turned on.

*This setting is effective only with tones 1, 2 and 5 for the [Piano] button. You cannot make this setting with other tones.

1.Hold down the [Reverb] and [Chorus] buttons and press the [-] or [+] button.

The indicators for the [Reverb] and [Chorus] buttons flash in red.

The resonance for the currently selected tone appears in the display.

2.Press the [-] or [+] button to select the resonance level.

3.Press the [Reverb] or [Chorus] button.

The indicators return to their previous state.

Changing How the Pedals Work

Although a pedal connected to the Pedal [Soft] jack normally functions as a soft pedal (p. 10), it can also be set to function as a sostenuto pedal or expression pedal.

For use as a sostenuto pedal, connect the supplied pedal or a separately available pedal. For use as an expression pedal, connect the separately available expression pedal (EV-5).

When the instrument is turned on, this is set to function as a soft pedal.

is stopped, the Rhythm begins from the

 

intro (the same result as the [Chord] but-

is playing, the ending is played and the

 

Rhythm stops (the same result as the

 

[Drums] button being pressed).

 

You cannot start only the Drum Part, or

 

stop only the Chord Part by pressing the

 

pedal. (See p. 26.)
