Your Digital Piano comes equipped with three pedals:
damper, soft, and sostenuto.
Pedal Functions
Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the
notes you play to reverberate for a very long time.
When a GRAND PIANO tone (MODERN, CLASSIC,
VARIATION) is selected as the tone, pressing this
pedal will cause notes to reverberate (acoustic
resonance) just like the damper pedal on an acoustic
grand piano. Half-pedal operation (pressing the
pedal part way) is also supported.
Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal while playing suppresses notes
played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed,
and makes them sound softer.
Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this
pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal is
released.

(METRONOME) button.
This will start the metronome.

Changing the Beats Per Measure
You can specify from two to six beats per measure for
the metronome. After you do, a chime will sound at the
beginning of each measure. Specifying 0 for this setting
will sound a straight beat, without a chime. This setting
lets you practice with a steady beat.
