NOTE
You also can use the procedure under “Metronome

volume.
Your Digital Piano comes equipped with three pedals:
damper, soft, and sostenuto.
Pedal Functions
z 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 (CONCERT,
MODERN, CLASSIC, MELLOW, BRIGHT) is
selected as the tone, pressing this pedal will cause
notes to reverberate (Damper Resonance) just like
the damper pedal on an acoustic grand piano. Half-
pedal operation (pressing the pedal part way) is also
supported.
z Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal while playing suppresses notes
played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed,
and makes them sound softer.
z Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this
pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal is
released.
You can use the Duet Mode to split the Digital Piano’s
keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet.
This makes it possible to configure the keyboard so, for
example, the teacher can play on the left and the
student can follow along on the right. Or one person
can play the left hand part on the left, while another
plays the right hand part on the right.
