Basic Operation
Make sure that the power is off when connecting or disconnecting any pedal.
n •By connecting a pedal to the [ASSIGNABLE FOOT PEDAL] jack, you can use the pedal to control one of various
assignable functions. Refer to the “Pedal 1/Pedal 2/Pedal 3/Pedal 4” parameter in the Voice Edit menu (pages 61, 62).
•Depending upon the pedal that is connected to the [ASSIGNABLE FOOT PEDAL] connector, the effect produced by
operating the pedal (on/off, dynamics, etc.) might be reversed. Refer to the “Pedal Type” parameter in the Other
Settings menu (page 70).
• The function of the [PLAY/PAUSE] button can be assigned to the pedal connected to the [2 SOSTENUTO]/[3
SOFT]/[4 AUX] jacks. Refer to the “Pedal Play/Pause” parameter in the Other Settings menu (page 70).
The [ASSIGNABLE FOOT PEDAL] jack is set initially for use with the following functions (factory default
setting).
Sustain Pedal (1 SUSTAIN jack)
This jack is for connecting the included FC3 foot pedal. The pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on
an acoustic piano. Connect the included pedal (FC3) to this jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound.
When Voices of the GRAND PIANO 1 Voice group and the Mono Piano 1 and Comp. Piano 1 Voices are selected,
pressing the FC3 pedal activates the instrument’s special Sustain Samples, which accurately recreate the unique
resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings. The FC3 can also be used to control the half pedal
effect on these Voices, recreating the partial damping of strings that is possible on an actual piano. An optional FC4/
FC5 foot switch can also be connected to this jack. However, these foot switches cannot be used to control the half
pedal effect.
n The depth of the effect produced by the Sustain Samples can be adjusted via the “Sustain Sampling Depth”
parameter in the Other Settings menu (page 69).
Sostenuto Pedal (2 SOSTENUTO jack)
This jack is for connecting an included foot pedal FC3 and an optional FC3/FC4/FC5 foot switch.
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will
sustain as long as the pedal is held. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are
played “staccato.”
n Organ, string and choir Voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed.
Soft Pedal (3 SOFT jack)
This jack is for connecting an included foot pedal FC3 and an optional FC3/FC4/FC5 foot switch. The soft pedal
reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not
affect notes that are already playing.
n The depth of the Soft pedal can be adjusted via the “Soft Pedal Depth” parameter in the Other Settings menu
(page 69).
AUX Pedal (4 AUX jack)
This jack is for connecting an optional FC7 foot controller.
This AUX Pedal can be assigned to control a variety of parameters on the instrument. Refer to the “Pedal 4"
parameter in the Voice Edit menu (page 62).
