Using the Pedals The CVP-94/92 has three pedals. 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 your fingers from the keys. CVP-94 CVP-92 • Certain voices in the [DRUMS] or [XG] groups may not be affected by use of the damper pedal. • Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the damper pedal is held. Sostenuto Pedal (Center) 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, 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. CVP-94 CVP-92 • Certain voices in the [DRUMS] or [XG] groups may not be affected by use of the sostenuto pedal. • Certain voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continuously when the sostenuto pedal is pressed. Soft Pedal (Left) Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of the notes you play. You can also assign one of many other functions to this pedal; for example, you can use it to start/stop the Automatic Accompaniment, or use it to play Fill Ins. See page 119 for details.
