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.
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.
