Separately Sold Accessories May not be available depending on your locale. • AC Adaptor: PA-150 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha • Headphone: HPH-150, HPH-100, HPH-50 • Keyboard Stand: L-100 • Keyboard bag: SC-KB851 • Wireless MIDI Adaptor: UD-BT01 • Footswitch: FC4A, FC5 • Foot pedal: FC3A (features Half-pedal function) Half-pedal function This function allows you to vary the sustain length depending on how far the Damper pedal is pressed. The farther down you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if you press the damper pedal and all notes you are playing sound a bit murky and loud with too much sustain, you can release the pedal half way or higher to decrease the sustain (murkiness). • [P-145 only] Pedal Unit: LP-5A (features Half-pedal function) * Make sure to assemble the unit on a separately sold Keyboard Stand (L-100). L-100 LP-5A (Compatible only with the P-145) Pedal Functions (For Pedal Unit LP-5A) Damper pedal (right pedal) Notes will be sustained as long as this pedal is depressed, even if you release your fingers from the keys. It corresponds to the Damper Resonance function. The deeper you depress the pedal, the longer the note is sustained (corresponding to the Half Pedal function). Sostenuto pedal (center pedal) 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. Since this pedal does not affect notes played while it is depressed, you can achieve playing styles such as a staccato melody while sustaining a chord. When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. Soft pedal (left pedal) Keys played after depressing this pedal will be slightly softer and less resonant. The effect continues as long as the pedal is depressed. Since this pedal does not affect the sound of keys that were already held down when it is depressed, depress the pedal just before playing the note(s) that you would like to alter. Pedal function in Duo (page 10) In Duo, the pedal function changes as follows. • Right Pedal: Damper pedal for the right-hand range. • Center Pedal: Damper pedal for both the right-hand and left-hand ranges. • Left Pedal: Damper pedal for the left-hand range.
