Sustain
The Sustain effect, selectable for the Upper, Lower, and Pedal Voices, causes the sound to
gradually fade out when the keys are released. The Sustain on/off and length settings are
independent for each keyboard, providing maximum expressive control. Sustain can be
switched on and off in real time as you play, either with the panel SUSTAIN buttons or the knee
lever (when properly set for knee lever operation; Upper and Lower keyboards only).
To call up the Sustain page:
Press any of the buttons or touch controls in the
SUSTAIN section, then select “Sustain Menu” in the
display with the bottom left Menu button.
