Using the Pedals
The Clavinova has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
The damper pedal also features a naturally expressive
When DAMPER RES. is on, the Clavinova simulates the sustain sound that occurs when you press the damper pedal of a grand piano, as you press the damper pedal and play the keyboard.

When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain.

Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.”

When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal.
NOTE
Organ, string and choir voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed.
Soft (Left) Pedal
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed.
NOTE
The left pedal can be assigned to song play/pause operation or variation function
