Casio PL-40R Musical Instrument User Manual


 
E-21
Basic Operations
Layer/split is produced by using mixer Group A Upper1,
Upper2, Lower1, and Lower2 at the same time. This means
you can use the mixer to change the volume balance and
stereo pan position parameters for each of the tones. See
“Using the Mixer” on page E-46 for details.
You can use the mixer to turn off individual channels (layer/
split tones). This means you could turn off Lower2, for
example, to sound a single tone in the lower range and two
layered tones in the upper range. See page E-46 for
details.
Use the following procedure when you want to turn the key
light system on or off.
1. While holding down the FUNCTION button,
press the ONE TOUCH PRESET/(KEY LIGHT)
button to toggle the key light system on and off.
The pointer next to KEY LIGHT appears when
the key lighting system is turned on, and
disappears when it is turned off.
The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks, one for a
damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal. Use the
“Assign Left” setting described under “Setting: Pedal” on
page E-77 to assign the function you want to the SOFT/
SOSTENUTO jack. The power on default setting of the SOFT/
SOSTENUTO jack is SOFT.
Pedal functions
Damper pedal
Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to
sustain longer.
Soft pedal
Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces
their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is
depressed are affected, and any notes played before the
pedal is pressed sound at their normal volume.
Sostenuto pedal
Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to
reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference
between the two pedals is the timing when they are
pressed. With the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal
after depressing the notes you want to sustain. Only
the notes whose keyboard keys are depressed when the
sostenuto pedal is pressed are affected.
During memory playback and demo tune play, pedal
effects are applied to notes played on the keyboard only.
