Quick Guide Using the Pedals The instrument features three pedals. CVP-405 CVP-403/401 Left Pedal Damper Pedal Sostenuto Pedal Left Pedal Damper Pedal Sostenuto Pedal ● Damper Pedal (Right) The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper pedal on an actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound of the voices even after releasing the keys. n • Some Voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the damper pedal is held. • Certain Voices in the "PERCUSSION & DRUM KIT," "GM&XG" and "GM2" groups may not be affected by use of the damper pedal. ● Sostenuto Pedal (Center) 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. All subsequent notes will not sustain. n • Certain Voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continuously when the sostenuto pedal is pressed. • Certain Voices in the "PERCUSSION & DRUM KIT", "GM&XG" and "GM2" groups may not be affected by use of the sostenuto pedal. ● Left Pedal When the Piano voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play. The settings assigned to this pedal may differ depending on the selected Voice. n The depth of the left pedal effect can be adjusted (page 98). When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal have a longer sustain. When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. ● Foot Controller/Footswitch An optional Yamaha foot controller (FC7) or footswitch (FC4 or FC5) can be connected to the AUX PEDAL jack and used to control various functions assigned (page 187). Making Settings for the Pedals You can assign one of the various functions to the three pedals or an optional foot controller/footswitch, doing things like controlling the Super Articulation voices (page 79) (CVP-405) or starting and stopping the Style (page 187). Using the Metronome The metronome provides a click sound, giving you an accurate tempo guide when you practice, or letting you hear and check how a specific tempo sounds. 1 Press the METRONOME [ON/OFF] button to start the metronome. 2 To stop the metronome, press the METRONOME [ON/OFF] button again. 30 CVP-405/403/401 Owner's Manual
