DP-2

If the pedal is connected to the Damper jack, it can be used as a damper pedal (to sustain the notes played on the keyboard). If the pedal is connected to the Soft jack, it can be used as a soft pedal (to lower the volume).

NOTE

Strong tension applied to the cord may damage or break it. Be careful not to pull the cord accidentally, or to apply strong pres- sure to it.

Damper pedal

While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after you take your fingers off the keys.

On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the sounds that you played from the keyboard, adding a rich resonance. The ep-760 simulates this sym- pathetic resonance.

You can change the amount of resonance applied with the damper pedal. Please refer to “Changing the damper pedal’s resonance”, p. 24.

Soft pedal

When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the sound will have a softer tone.

Sostenuto pedal

This function allows you to sustain only the sounds of the keys that were already played when you pressed the pedal.

This is a function that needs to be selected (p. 26), in which case the Soft function is no longer available.

Setting up the music stand

Set up the music stand as shown in the figure below.

NOTE

Before moving the ep-760, be sure to remove the music stand as a safety precaution.
