Sustain/Assignable jack Terminal

You can connect an optional sustain pedal (SP-3 or SP-20) to the SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK terminal to enable the capabilities described below.

For details on how to select the pedal function you want, see “SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK (Default: SUS)” on page E-53.

SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK Terminal

SP-20

Sustain Pedal

With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to linger, much like a piano’s damper pedal.

With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to continue to sound until the pedal is released.

Sostenuto Pedal

As with the sustain pedal function described above, depressing the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained.

This difference between a sostenuto pedal and sustain pedal is the timing. With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys and then depress the pedal before you release the keys.

Only the notes that are sounding when the pedal is depressed are sustained.

Soft Pedal

Depressing the pedal softens the sound of the notes being played.

Rhythm Start/Stop Pedal

In this case, the pedal performs the same functions as the START/STOP button.

Accessories and Options

Use only the accessories and options specified for this keyboard. Use of non-authorized items creates the danger of fire, electrical shock, and personal injury.
