This decay characteristic can be influenced using the three foot pedals.
Soft/piano pedal (left):• The soft pedal produces a soft and intimate
sound. Use this pedal for particularly soft musical passages (pianissimo).
On an acoustic piano this soft sound results from a smaller distance between
hammer and strings. On a grand piano, however, the position of the hammer
changes, so that the hammer does not hit all strings.
Press the pedal to dampen all tones played afterwards with the pedal down.1)
Let go of the pedal for normal playing.2)
You can adjust the effect of the damper pedal (see chapter 5.6.2).◊
Sostenuto pedal (middle):• Use the sostenuto pedal to sustain
individual tones. The notes already played – as long as they have
not yet decayed – will be sustained as soon as you press the pedal.
All notes played subsequently will be dampened as described
above. This allows you to play and sustain a certain note using
the pedal, while all subsequent tones will be played in a staccato
(detached) manner.
When you sustain single notes on an acoustic piano using the sostenuto
pedal, the damper felts of the notes already played do not dampen the
strings when you release the keys, but are held in their position.
Play the notes to be sustained.1)
Press the pedal to sustain the tones you just played. 2)
Play the next notes. These are played with normal decay.3)
Release the pedal for normal playing.4)
Damper/Forte pedal (right): The damper pedal allows you to •
sustain the notes already played (and held) plus all subsequent
notes, without having to hold the keys down. The damper pedal is
often used to achieve a richer sound. This is the pedal that is used
most often. You can also use it very subtly, for example, by holding
it down only half-way.
On the acoustic piano notes are sustained by keeping all the damper
felts in their raised position even after releasing the keys. This allows
the notes played to decay quite naturally.
Play the notes to be sustained.1)
Press the pedal to sustain the notes you just played plus all 2)
subsequent notes.
Release the pedal for normal playing.3)
Using headphones4.4
The EG2280USB/EG8280USB is equipped with two headphone jacks located
on the underside of the playing console (front left). Headphones are ideal for
practicing without disturbing others. The second headphone jack allows another
person, for example a music teacher, to listen as well so that piano lessons can
also be held using headphones. Both ¼" and /" inputs are available.
Use the VOLUME control to turn the volume down (move the slide control to 1)
the left half of its control range).
Connect your headphones to a free headphone jack on the underside of the 2)
playing console.
While playing, adjust the volume as desired using the VOLUME control.3)
If required, the 4)
button allows you to switch the built-in loudspeakers
of the EG2280USB/EG8280USB on or off.
The built-in loudspeakers of the EG2280USB/◊
EG8280USB are switched off as soon as you connect a
pair of headphones; the MUTE LED above the
button lights up.
When you disconnect your headphone from the ◊
headphones jack, the built-in loudspeakers of the EG2280USB/
EG8280USB are switched on again and the MUTE LED above the
button goes out.
