Using the Pedals

The instrument features three pedals.
●Damper Pedal (Right)
The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper pedal on an
actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound of the voices even
after releasing the keys.
• Some Voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes
have been released while the damper pedal is held.
• Certain Voices in the “PERCUSSION & DRUM KIT,” “GM&XG” and “GM2”
groups may not be affected by use of the damper pedal.
●Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal
while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is
held. All subsequent notes will not sustain.
• Certain Voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continuously when
the sostenuto pedal is pressed.
• Certain Voices in the “PERCUSSION & DRUM KIT”, “GM&XG” and “GM2”
groups may not be affected by use of the sostenuto pedal.
●Left Pedal
When the Piano voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume
and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play.
The settings assigned to this pedal may differ depending on the selected Voice.
nThe depth of the left pedal effect can be adjusted (page 101).
●Foot Controller/Footswitch
An optional Yamaha foot controller (FC7) or footswitch (FC4 or FC5) can be connected to the AUX PEDAL jack and
used to control various functions assigned (page 191).

Using the Metronome

The metronome provides a click sound, giving you an accurate tempo guide when you practice, or letting you hear and
check how a specific tempo sounds.
