Using the Pedals
This digital piano comes equipped with the three pedals shown in the illustration below.
Soft pedal
Damper pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Pedal functions
•Damper pedal
Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. In the case of the PIPE ORGAN and STRINGS tones, pressing this pedal sustains the notes played until you release the pedal.
•Soft pedal
Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is pressed sound at their normal volume.
•Sostenuto pedal
Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is pressed are affected.
