The Utility Functions
Left Pedal Function ........................................................................................
The left pedal has a number of functions which can be selected via
the LEFT PEDAL function. Use the LEFT PEDAL and LCD but-
tons to select the desired function. The data dial and [+]/[–] buttons can
also be used. The default setting — “SOFT” — can be instantly recalled
by pressing the LEFT PEDAL and LCD buttons simultaneously.
Soft Pressing the soft pedal subtly reduces the volume and
slightly changes the timbre of notes played. The SOFT
function is automatically selected when the POWER
switch is initially turned on.
Start/Stop The left pedal performs the same function as the accom-
paniment section [START/STOP] button. For details on
the START/STOP function, refer to the “Accompani-
ment” section, pages 30, 32.
Harmony On/Off Allows the Harmony function (page 41) to be turned on
or off as required while playing so that harmony can be
applied only to specific notes or phrases.
Registration + Steps through the registration memory locations so a
completely different set of panel settings can be recalled
each time the pedal is pressed. See page 60 for details
on the registration memory.
Intro A/Fill to A The left pedal performs the same function as the accom-
paniment section [INTRO A/FILL TO A] button. See
pages 30, 32 for details.
Intro B/Fill to B The left pedal performs the same function as the accom-
paniment section [INTRO B/FILL TO B] button. See
pages 30, 32 for details.
Ending/rit. The left pedal performs the same function as the accom-
paniment section [ENDING] button. See page 32 for
details.
Break Pressing the left pedal produces a break in the accom-
paniment for as long as the pedal is held. For details on
the BREAK function, refer to the “Accompaniment” sec-
tion, page 32.
Sostenuto The left pedal functions in the same way as the CVP-
79A/69/69A sostenuto pedal (see page 26).
Damper Range .....................................................................................................

hand, or both voices in a split setup.

to select the desired setting.

The Damper Range setting is retained

turned off if the BACKUP page PEDAL
parameter is turned on (page 107).
(CVP-59S only)
The Left Pedal function setting is re-
tained in memory even when the
power is turned off if the BACKUP
page PEDAL parameter is turned on

the left pedal function in the registra-
tion memory is not recalled.
