PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS
This section explains the locations and functions of the panel buttons and sliders.
FRONT PANEL
PEDALS
The CN41 piano has three pedals—just like a grand piano. They are Sustain, Sostenuto and Soft.
Sustain pedal
Sustains the sound after hands are lifted from the keyboard. The sustain pedal is capable of
responding to half pedaling.
Sostenuto pedal
Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before releasing the keys sustains the
sound of only the keys just played. Any keys that are pressed after the Sostenuto pedal is
depressed will not be sustained after the keys are released.
Soft pedal
Depressing this pedal softens the sound and reduces its volume. When the rotary effect is active
the soft pedal is used to change the speed of the rotor between slow and fast.
CONCERT MAGIC
Press the CONCERT MAGIC button to
enjoy listening to or performing a collection
of pre-programmed piano songs. Concert
Magic will provide the correct melody
and accompaniment notes, regardless of
which keys are pressed. Anybody, young
or old, can enjoy Concert Magic from
the moment they sit down at the CN41.
