CLP-880/860 Pedal Functions
After selecting “F5.Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the pedal functions sub-mode,
then use the FUNCTION [<] and [>] buttons to select the desired pedal functions, as listed
below.
F5.1: Left Pedal Mode ............................................................................................................................
This function conveniently lets you set the left pedal for normal soft pedal operation, or for
song start/stop operation. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select the desired left-
pedal mode. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default
setting “1”.
1: Soft The left pedal functions as the soft pedal.
2: Start/Stop The left pedal functions in the same manner as the [START/STOP] button.
F5.2: Damper Mode...................................................................................................................................
This function lets you set how the damper pedal affects the sustain sound. There are two
modes for pedal operation.
1: Switch In this mode the pedal acts as a simple on/off switch for sustain.
2: Continuous In this mode the pedal continuously changes the amount of sustain (in eight-
step gradations) i.e., the further down you press the pedal the longer the sound
sustains.
Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select the desired damper mode. Press the [–/NO]
and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting “2”.
This function sets the left pedal for normal soft-pedal operation, for song start/stop opera-
tion, or for sostenuto (CLP-820S only) operation. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to
select the desired left-pedal mode. “1” is the normal soft-pedal mode, “2” is the start/stop
mode, and “3” is the sostenuto mode (CLP-820S only). When the start/stop mode is selected,
the left pedal functions in the same way as the panel [START/STOP] button. Press the
[–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting “1”.

F5.3: Soundboard Depth.....................................................................................................................
Certain piano voices (GRAND PIANO, CLASSICAL PIANO, and JAZZ PIANO) feature
a special effect which recreates the ring of the strings and the soundboard resonance of an
actual acoustic piano when the damper pedal is pressed. This function lets you adjust the
depth of this effect. Use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set the effect depth as required.
The effect depth range is from 0 through 20. A setting of “0” produces no effect, while a
setting of “20” produces maximum effect depth. Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons
simultaneously to recall the default setting “12”.
