Basic Operations

ŠLayer/split is produced by using mixer Group A Upper1, Upper2, Lower1, and Lower2 at the same time. This means you can use the mixer to change the volume balance and stereo pan position parameters for each of the tones. See “Using the Mixer” on page E-46 for details.

ŠYou can use the mixer to turn off individual channels (layer/ split tones). This means you could turn off Lower2, for example, to sound a single tone in the lower range and two layered tones in the upper range. See page E-46 for details.

Turning the Key Light System On and Off

Use the following procedure when you want to turn the key light system on or off.

1. While holding down the FUNCTION button, press the ONE TOUCH PRESET/(KEY LIGHT) button to toggle the key light system on and off.

ŠThe pointer next to KEY LIGHT appears when the key lighting system is turned on, and disappears when it is turned off.

Using the Pedals

Pedal functions

ŠDamper pedal

Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer.

ŠSoft pedal

Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is pressed sound at their normal volume.

ŠSostenuto pedal

Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is pressed are affected.

ŠDuring memory playback and demo tune play, pedal effects are applied to notes played on the keyboard only.

The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks, one for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal. Use the “Assign Left” setting described under “Setting: Pedal” on page E-77 to assign the function you want to the SOFT/ SOSTENUTO jack. The power on default setting of the SOFT/ SOSTENUTO jack is SOFT.
