About the Pedals

The pedals have the following functions, and are used
mainly for piano performance.

fig.00-08.e

Damper pedal (right pedal)

While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after
you take your fingers off the keys.
The length of sustain will change subtly depending on how
deeply you press the pedal.
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 HP107 simulates this damper resonance.

You can change the amount of resonance applied with
the damper pedal (p. 20).

Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)

This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were
already played when you pressed the pedal.

You can switch the function of the sostenuto pedal (p.
31).

Soft pedal (left pedal)

When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the
sound will have a softer tone.
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to
which you press the pedal.

About the adjuster

Be sure to use the adjusters underneath the pedals whenever
the instrument is moved or when the pedals appear to be
unstable.

❍

Rotate the adjuster to lower it so that it is in firm contact
with the floor. If there is a gap between the pedals and
the floor, the pedals may be damaged. In particular
when placing the instrument on carpet, adjust this so
that the pedals firmly contact the floor.
