Playing with Different Tones

Using the Digital Piano’s Pedals

Your digital piano comes equipped with three pedals: damper, soft, and sostenuto

Pedal FunctionszDamper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes you play to reverberate for a long time.

•When a GRAND PIANO tone (CONCERT, MODERN, CLASSIC, MELLOW, BRIGHT) is selected as the tone, pressing this pedal will cause notes to reverberate (with damper resonance) just like the damper pedal on an acoustic grand piano. Half-pedal operation (pressing the pedal part way) is also supported.

zSoft Pedal

Pressing this pedal while playing suppresses notes played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes them sound softer.

zSostenuto Pedal

Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal is released.

•This starts the metronome.

2.To change the beat, hold down the FUNCTION button as you press one of the METRONOME BEAT keys to select a beat setting.

•You can specify beats per measure value of 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Specifying 0 as the setting plays a straight click, without any chime. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat.

3.While holding down the FUNCTION button, use the TEMPO keys to specify a tempo value in the range of 20 to 255 beats per minute.

•Each press of the + or – key raises or lowers the tempo value by 1.

•You can use the value input keys (0 to 9) to enter a specific three-digit. Be sure to input all three digits.

Example: To enter “96”, press keys 0, 9, 6.
