even if you release the keys.

Likewise you can specify
whether the Expression
Pedal will or will not
control the volume during
the playback of recorded
performance (p. 162).
You can modify the setting
so that decay is only
applied to notes played on

the Solo voices.
Decay can be applied to
Pedal Bass voices played
on the Lower keyboard
(when the [To Lower] or
