Moving the split point also affects the sizes of the accompaniment keyboard and the melody keyboard. Using the Piano's Pedals The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks, one for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal. Pedal functions • Damper pedal Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. • Soft pedal Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is pressed sound at their normal volume. • Sostenuto pedal Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is pressed are affected. Selecting the Pedal Function A pedal connected to the piano's PEDAL jack can operate as either a soft pedal or a sostenuto pedal. When you turn on the keyboard, the pedal is initially configured for soft pedal operation. You can perform the following operation to select either soft or sostenuto for the pedal operation. 1 While holding down the CONTROL button, use the keyboard keys shown below to select either soft or sostenuto.
