The Pedals The CLP-123 has three pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano. q Soft (Left) Pedal Pressing the soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played. q 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 be sustained as long as the pedal is held (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." q 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 played have a long sustain. When no REVERB effect is selected and a piano voice is selected, the damper pedal also produces a special "resonance" that simulates the ring of the strings and the sound board of an acoustic piano. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. The CLP-123 damper pedal additionally features continuous damping. This allows you to create shorter effects by pressing the damper pedal down only part of the way. 11
