Selecting & Playing Voices
ENGLISH
22
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the
sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes
will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (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.”
Soft (Left) Pedal
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 when it
is pressed.
Adding Variations to the Sound – [BRILLIANCE]/
[REVERB]/[EFFECT]
[BRILLIANCE]
This control can be used to change the tonality or “timbre” of the sound output.
The control range is from MELLOW to BRIGHT.
[REVERB]
This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that would add extra
depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.
OFF:
When no reverb effect is selected, no REVERB indicator is lit.
ROOM:
This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room.
HALL 1:
For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates
the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall.
HALL 2:
For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simu-
lates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall.
STAGE:
Simulates the reverb of a stage environment.
Pressing the
[REVERB]
button repeatedly toggles the reverb on and off.
The indicators light in sequence each time the
[REVERB]
button is pressed. No effect is
produced when all indicators are off.
Even if the REVERB effect is OFF, a “Soundboard Reverb” effect will be applied when
the
GRAND PIANO 1
voice is selected.
Adjusting Reverb Depth
Adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice by using the
[–/NO] [+/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] but-
ton. The depth range is from 0 through 20. The current
depth setting appears on the LED display while the
[REVERB] button is held.
TIP
Organ, string and choir voices
will continue to sound for as
long as the sostenuto pedal is
depressed.
When you press the sostenu-
to pedal here while holding
the note, the note will sustain
as long as you hold the pedal.
TIP
The left pedal can be assigned
to song start/stop operation via
the “Left Pedal Mode” described
on page 40.
