Pedal Functions

zDamper Pedal

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

When GRAND PIANO 1, GRAND PIANO 2, or GRAND PIANO 3 is selected as the tone, pressing this pedal will cause notes to reverberate 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 that are played while this pedal are depressed are sustained until the pedal is released.
