FOOT SWITCH
Pressing the soft pedal subtly reduces the volume and slightly changes the tim-
bre of notes played. The SOFT function is automatically selected whenever the
POWER switch is turned on.
Sostenuto ................................................................................................................................................
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while
the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained as long as the pedal is held (as if
the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be
sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes
are played “staccato.”
The SOSTENUTO function cannot be selected while the SOLO STYLEPLAY
feature is operating.
Soft...........................................................................................................................................................
Start/Stop ................................................................................................................................................
The foot switch performs the same function as the panel [START/STOP] but-
tons. For details on the START/STOP function, refer to the “Accompaniment”
section on page 18, 19.
Foot Switch (Multi-function)
An optional FC4 or FC5 foot switch connected to the rear-panel FOOT
SWITCH jack provides a number of functions which can be selected using the
[FOOT SWITCH] button and indicators. Each time the [FOOT SWITCH] button
is pressed the next function on the function “list” is selected and the corresponding
indicator will light.
Damper Pedal
The supplied FC4 foot switch functions as a damper pedal when connected to
the rear-panel DAMPER jack. The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed notes played
have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained
notes.
