2 Sustain

The Sustain effect, selectable for the Upper, Lower and Pedal voices, causes
voices to gradually fade out when the keys are released. The sustain on/off and
sustain length settings are independent for each keyboard, providing maximum
expressive control.
Press one of the SUSTAIN buttons, located to the left of the panel, to set the
Sustain effect. The following display appears.
The lamp of the button lights up to indicate that sustain is on. Press the button
again to turn sustain off.

Upper/Lower/Pedal

Determines the length of sustain applied to each keyboard. The display shows
the current sustain length values for each keyboard. The values here must be set
high enough for the sustain effect to be noticeable.
Range: 0 - 12
NOTE:
Sustain cannot be applied to the Lead
voices.
NOTE:
If Knee Lever control of the Upper or
Lower sustain has been turned on (folded
down), pressing the Upper or Lower
buttons here will not add sustain unless the
Knee Lever is pushed. See page 101 for
more information.
NOTE:
Remember that the SUSTAIN buttons are
on/off switches. If you use them to simply
check the sustain length values, you may
unintentionally change the on/off status of
the effect. Remember to check whether the
sustain button lamps are on or off before
you start to play.
