FOOT SWITCH
Pressing the soft pedal subtly reduces the volume and slightly changes the tim-bre of notes played. The SOFT function is automatically selected whenever thePOWER switch is turned on.
●Sostenuto................................................................................................................................................
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal whilethe note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held (as ifthe damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not besustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notesare played “staccato.”The SOSTENUTO function cannot be selected while the SOLO STYLEPLAYfeature is operating.

●Start/Stop ................................................................................................................................................
The foot switch performs the same function as the panel [START/STOP] but-tons. For details on the START/STOP function, refer to the “Accompaniment”section on page 18, 19.
■Foot Switch (Multi-function)
An optional FC4 or FC5 foot switch connected to the rear-panel FOOTSWITCH jack provides a number of functions which can be selected using the[FOOT SWITCH] button and indicators. Each time the [FOOT SWITCH] buttonis pressed the next function on the function “list” is selected and the correspondingindicator will light.
■Damper Pedal
The supplied FC4 foot switch functions as a damper pedal when connected tothe rear-panel DAMPER jack. The damper pedal functions in the same way as adamper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed notes playedhave a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustainednotes.
