Using the Pedals
This section explains the use of the instru-
ment’s three pedals.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. While the
damper pedal is pressed notes played have a long
sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops
(damps) any sustained notes.
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
This pedal sustains only those notes whose keys
are being pressed when the pedal first goes down.
Keys that you strike after the pedal is already down
are not held. This makes it possible to sustain a
chord, for example, while at the same time playing
other notes staccato.
Soft (Left) Pedal
This pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you
play. The pedal has no affect on notes that are already playing when the pedal is
first pressed.
If you step down on the damper
pedal here, the note already in
play and the three subsequent
notes will continue to sound after
their keys are released.
If you step down on the sostenuto
pedal here, only the first note will be
held.
Variable damper-pedal action...
The sustain length produced by
the damper pedal varies
according to how far you press
the pedal down. The pedal is
factory-set for 8-level action, but
you can change this setting using
function F11 (see page 34).

Changing the function of the
left pedal...
You can switch the function of the
left pedal so that it operates as a
second [START/STOP] button
rather than as a soft pedal. To
change the operation, use
function F9 (see page 33).
