Your Digital Piano comes equipped with three pedals: damper, soft, and sostenuto.

Pedal Functions

Damper Pedal

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

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

Soft Pedal

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

Sostenuto Pedal

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

Using the Metronome

1. Press the  (METRONOME) button.

This will start the metronome.

Lights with the first beat	Lights with each subsequent beat of
of each measure	each measure

2. Press the  (METRONOME) button again to stop the metronome.

Changing the Beats Per Measure

You can specify from two to six beats per measure for the metronome. After you do, a chime will sound at the beginning of each measure. Specifying 0 for this setting will sound a straight beat, without a chime. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat.

1. Hold down the  (METRONOME) button until the number of beats per measure screen shown below appears on the display.

2. Use the  (w, q) buttons to select the beats per measure value you want.

3. Press the  (METRONOME) button to exit the number of beats per measure screen.
