If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato. Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain appropriate Voices. When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when the pedal is released. The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held). Portamento Time can also be adjusted from the Mixing Console (page 93). Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. Moreover, various effects can be added to the S.

Articulation voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/ footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch.
