Yamaha H01 Using the Pedals, Damper Right Pedal, Sostenuto Center Pedal, Soft Left Pedal

Selecting & Playing Voices

Using the Pedals

The H01 has three foot pedals: damper (right) pedal, sostenuto (center) pedal, and soft (left) pedal that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

ENGLISH	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	When you press the damper pedal

		release the pedal sustain longer.
	Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
	If you play a note or chord on the key-
	board 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	When you press the sostenuto
	played notes will not be sustained.	pedal here while holding the note,

	chord, for example, while other notes
	are played “staccato.”

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

If the damper pedal doesn’t work, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the main unit (page 24).

NOTE

Organ and string voices will con- tinue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed.
