Before You Start Playing
About the Pedals
The pedals have the following functions, and are used
mainly for piano performance.
fig.00-08.e
Damper pedal (right 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 HP101 simulates this “damper resonance.”
You can change the amount of resonance applied with
the damper pedal. Please refer to “Changing the Damper
Pedal’s Resonance” (p. 23).
Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)
This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were
already played when you pressed the pedal.
Soft pedal (left pedal)
When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the
sound will have a softer tone.
About the Adjuster
When you move the HP101 or if you feel that the pedals are
unstable, adjust the adjuster located below the pedals as
follows.
❍
Rotate the adjuster to lower it so that it is in firm contact
with the floor. If there is a gap between the pedals and
the floor, the pedals may be damaged. In particular
when placing the instrument on carpet, adjust this so
that the pedals firmly contact the floor.
fig.00-09.j
If the adjuster is difficult to turn, have one person lift
either the left or right side of the stand to make it easier
for another person to turn the adjuster and make the
adjustment.
NOTE
After adjusting the adjuster, press the pedals, and if the
front board moves, turn the adjuster further so that it
makes firm contact with the floor.
NOTE
Always readjust the adjuster after moving the piano.
