Assigning functions to the pedals

Global settings > Assigning functions to the pedals

By default, the three pedals act as (from right to left) damper, sostenuto and soft. You can freely reassign them according to your need or preference. You can either assign them to the sounds (see page 44), or globally by these pages. Global pro- gramming override sound settings.

Hint: Use sound programming to assign sound effects, like damper, rotary speaker velocity and glide; use global program-

ming to assign global controls, like drum pattern, recorder and quarter tone control.

Note: When a function other than Sound is assigned to a pedal, therefore overriding sound programming, a (G) abbreviation appears in the pedal assignment pages in Sound Edit mode.
