Using Built-in Tones
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 (tone numbers 001
through 012) 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.
