Setting Up
Connecting a Pedal Unit (PEDAL UNIT jack)
This jack is for connecting an LP-7A/LP-7AWH pedal
unit (sold separately). When connecting the pedal
unit, make sure to also assemble the unit on the sup-
plied keyboard stand.
• Make sure that power is off when connecting or disconnect-
ing the pedal unit.
• This affects only Main/Dual Voices and Harmony sound
(pages 27, 28 and 31).
• The functions of the pedals of the pedal unit cannot be
changed.
Half Pedal function
(for FC3A and LP-7A/LP-7AWH)
This function allows you to vary the sustain length
depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther
you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For
example, if you press the damper pedal and the notes
you play sound a bit murky and loud with too much sus-
tain, you can partially release the pedal to lessen the
sustain (murkiness).

Damper Pedal (Right)
Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this
pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. This
pedal lets you use the Damper Resonance (page 21) and Half
Pedal (see above) functions. When using both a footswitch
and pedal unit, the last effect applied takes priority.
Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
If you play a note or notes on the keyboard and press the sos-
tenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sus-
tain 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 note or notes, for
example, while other notes are played “staccato.”
Soft Pedal (Left)
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.
If you press and hold the
damper pedal here, all the
notes shown will be sustained.
If you press and hold the
sostenuto pedal here, only
the notes held at this timing
will be sustained.
