Using the Pedals 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. 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 damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal sustain longer. When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. If the damper pedal doesn't work, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the main unit (page 35). Organ and string voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed. 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. 17 ENGLISH YDP-151/YDP-323 Selecting & Playing Voices 19
