Before You Start Playing

Damper Pedal

Use this pedal to sustain the sound.

While the pedal is depressed, long lingering reverberations continue to be added to the sound after you release from the keys. When you depress the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, the sound from the strings that were struck resonates with other strings, adding rich reverberations and broadness to the sound. You can adjust this resonance (Sympathetic Resonance) when the damper pedal is depressed.

→You can vary the amount of resonance applied when the damper pedal is depressed. Refer to “Adjusting Resonance (Resonance)” (p. 138).

Sostenuto Pedal

When this pedal is depressed, reverberations are applied only to the keys being played at that time.

Soft Pedal

This pedal is used to make the sound softer.

Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic piano.

→When connected to the Sostenuto jack or the Soft jack, you can also assign other functions to the connected pedal. For more information, see “Assigning Functions to Pedals and Performance Pads (Pedal Setting/User Functions)” (p. 143).

→By providing two more pedals, you can use three pedals at the same time. If you wish to purchase the optional pedal (DP-2/ DP-6), please contact the dealer where you purchased the keyboard.

2.Press the [Power] switch on the back of the unit.

After a few seconds, the unit becomes operable and playing the keyboard produces sound.

Adjust the volume at appropriate levels.
