Panel Controls and Terminals Using a Keyboard Stand and Pedal Unit (Sold Separately) A separately sold LP-1B/LP-1WH pedal unit can be connected to the [PEDAL UNIT] jack. When connecting the pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit on the separately sold L-300B/L-300WH keyboard stand. The L-300B/L-300WH keyboard stand is designed to be used for multiple models. When assembling the keyboard stand for the DGX-670, make sure to use the screw holes indicated by "B" on the metal brackets of the stand. For details, refer to the assembly manual of the stand. Rear side L-300B/L-300WH (Sold separately) LP-1B/LP-1WH (Sold separately) Pedal Unit Functions By default, the following functions are assigned to each pedal.  Damper Pedal (Right) Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. If you press and hold the damper pedal here, all the notes shown will be sustained. When you select a VRM Voice (page 41), pressing this pedal activates the VRM to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano's soundboard and strings.  Sostenuto Pedal (Center) If you play a note or notes 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 note or notes, for example, while other notes are played "staccato." NOTE • Make sure that the power is off when connecting or disconnecting the pedal unit. • Do not press the pedals while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the pedals, resulting in reversed operation. Half Pedal function (for FC3A and LP-1B/ LP-1WH) The FC3A and the right pedal of the LP-1B/ LP-1WH have a Half Pedal function which allows you to use half-damper techniques, in which the damper is pressed somewhere between all the way down and all the way up. In this half-damper state (on a real piano), the damper felts only partially mute the strings. The Half Pedal function lets you delicately and expressively control the damper muting, and create subtle nuances in your performance, by finely controlling the point at which pressure on the pedal affects the damper muting. The point is called "Half Pedal Point" and can be set on the Pedal tab of the Controller display called up via the [MENU] button (page 100). If you press and hold the sostenuto pedal here, only the notes held at this timing will be sustained.  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. DGX-670 Owner's Manual 15
