Before You Play
The pedals perform the following operations. You’ll
use them mainly when playing piano.
Damper Pedal (right pedal)
Use this pedal to sustain the sound.
While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained
for an extended time even if you release your fingers
from the keyboard.
The length of sustain will change subtly depending on
how deeply you press the pedal.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper
pedal will cause the strings for notes other than the
ones you actually play to vibrate in sympathy with
what you’ve played, producing a rich resonance. The
DP990F simulates this sympathetic vibration (damper
resonance).
You can modify the sound of the sympathetic
vibration (p. 56).
Sostenuto Pedal (center pedal)
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is
depressed will be sustained.
Soft Pedal (left pedal)
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a
sound that is not as strong as when otherwise played
with the equivalent strength. This is the same function
as the left pedal of an acoustic piano.
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the
depth to which you press the pedal.
You can switch the function of the sostenuto
pedal and the soft pedal (p. 57).
If you disconnect the pedal cord from the DP990F
while the power is turned on, the pedal effect will
remain applied. You must connect or disconnect
the pedal cord while the DP990F’s power is
switched off.
