Connecting the supplied
DP-2 footswitch
Connect the supplied pedal to one of the Pedal jacks.
A DP-2 is supplied with the ep-760.
If the pedal is connected to the Damper jack, it can be
used as a damper pedal (to sustain the notes played on
the keyboard). If the pedal is connected to the Soft jack,
it can be used as a soft pedal (to lower the volume).
Damper pedal
While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even
after you take your fingers off the keys.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal
will allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy
with the sounds that you played from the keyboard,
adding a rich resonance. The ep-760 simulates this sym-
pathetic resonance.
You can change the amount of resonance applied with
the damper pedal. Please refer to Changing the damper
pedals resonance, p. 24.
Soft pedal
When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard,
the sound will have a softer tone.
Sostenuto pedal
This function allows you to sustain only the sounds of
the keys that were already played when you pressed the
pedal.
This is a function that needs to be selected (p. 26), in
which case the Soft function is no longer available.
Connecting the adapter
A Connect the supplied AC adapter to a wall outlet.
B Connect the ACO adapter to the DC In jack on the rear
panel of the ep-760.
NOTE
Strong tension applied to the cord may damage or break it. Be
careful not to pull the cord accidentally, or to apply strong pres-
sure to it.
Setting up the music stand

NOTE
