and effects

Sustain pedal

When a key is released while this pedal is depressed, the sound is sustained so that it lingers and slowly fades out.

•This effect does not work for the sounds in the DRUM KITS group.

•This effect does not work for some sounds.

•The length of the sustain can be set for each part. (Refer to page 104.)

•PR804: This pedal is an eight-stage pedal, and the length of the sustain is controlled by the degree to which the pedal is depressed.

Sostenuto pedal

If this pedal is pressed while the keys are pressed, the sustain effect is applied to those notes only. If the pedal is pressed first and the keys are then pressed, the sustain effect does not work for those notes.

•For continuous-type sounds, such as ORGAN, the notes sound as long as the pedal is pressed.

•You can select a different function to control with this pedal. (Refer to page 121.)

Soft pedal

When this pedal is depressed, the sound is softer and the volume is slightly lower.

•You can select a different function to control with this pedal. (Refer to page 121.)

Sounds

String resonance

String resonance is the sound heard in an acoustic piano when the struck strings produce a sympathetic resonance of the other unstruck strings. For the GRAND PIANO and UPRIGHT PIANO sounds, string resonance is produced as long as the sustain pedal is depressed. The amount of string resonance can be adjusted.

1.Press and hold the GRAND button for about 3 seconds.

•STRING RESONANCE DEPTH is shown on the display.

2.Use the ∧ and ∨ buttons to adjust the amount of resonance (0 to 99).

•The higher the number, the greater the amount of reso- nance.

•When set to 0, there is no string resonance.
