MEMO
• If you connect the separately available RPU-3 pedal, allows you to
enjoy piano performances at their fullest, since you can use three
pedals.
• You can connect an expression pedal to the SOSTENUTO/C (FC2)
jack or SOFT/L (FC1) jack, and use it to control the FP-7F’s volume
(
p. 73).
Use only the specied expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately).
By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
• With the pedal connected to the SOSTENUTO/C (FC2) jack or the
SOFT/L (FC1) jack, it can be assigned other functions as well (p. 70, p.
72, p. 73).
Damper pedal
Use this to sustain the sound.
While you hold down the damper pedal, notes will be sustained even if
you take your ngers o the keyboard. This is the same function as the
right pedal of an acoustic piano.
The included pedal will detect a continuous value, so the amount
by which you press the pedal will smoothly control the depth of the
damper pedal eect.
On an acoustic piano, pressing the damper pedal allows other strings
to resonate sympathetically with the notes you play, producing a rich
and spacious resonance. The FP-7F simulates this natural damper
resonance.
MEMO
Set the switch on the included pedal to “Continuous” when the pedal
is connected.
Sostenuto pedal
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be
sustained. This is the same function as the center pedal of an acoustic
piano.
Soft pedal
Use this to soften the sound.
When you play the keyboard while holding down the soft pedal,
the sound will be softer than normal for the same keyboard playing
strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic
piano.
The included pedal will detect a continuous value, so the amount by
which you press the pedal will smoothly control the depth of the soft
pedal eect.
