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.
With the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, when you step
on the pedal it will at first offer only a slight amount of
resistance, but as you press down further it will start to feel
much heavier. On the LX-10F, this change in the feeling of
resistance is simulated.
On an acoustic piano, when you step on the damper pedal,
you’ll first hear the sound of the dampers releasing the
strings. Then, you should also be able to hear the sound of
strings adjacent to the ones for the notes actually played
resonate sympathetically, resulting in a rich, resounding
tone.
Additionally, when using half-pedaling techniques, the core
of the sound disappears rapidly while a rich, spacious
resonance remains, producing a unique form of
reverberation. On the LX-10F, the unique, lingering tones
produced by the half-pedaling technique are reproduced in
addition to released-string sounds (Damper Noise) and
resonating sounds (Damper Resonance).
You can modify the sound of the damper releasing
the string and the sound of the sympathetic
vibration (p. 35).
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 soft pedal (p. 58).
If you disconnect the pedal cord from the LX-10F while
the power is turned on, the pedal effect will remain
applied. You must connect or disconnect the pedal
cord while the LX-10F’s power is switched off.
About the Adjuster
If you feel that the pedal is unstable (for example if you’ve
moved the LX-10F to a different location), you can adjust the
adjuster located on the bottom of the pedals as follows.
Turn the adjuster to lower it until the adjuster is in firm
contact with the floor. The pedal may be damaged if there is
a gap between the adjuster and the floor. In particular, when
you’ve placed the LX-10F on carpet, you must turn the
adjuster until it is pressing firmly against the floor.
