Yamaha H01 Owner's Manual - Page 16

ENGLISH Selecting & Playing Voices Using the Pedals The H01 has three foot pedals: damper (right) pedal, sostenuto (center) pedal, and soft (left) pedal that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano. Damper (Right) Pedal The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal sustain longer. NOTE If the damper pedal doesn't work, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the main unit (page 24). 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." When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. 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. NOTE Organ and string voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed. 14 16 H01 Owner's Manual
