ENGLISH F5. Other Functions This section provides a variety of other functions, including letting you assign the operation of the AUX pedal to one of several settings, and allowing you to select specific song channels for playback. F5.1 AUX Pedal Setting range: 1. Soft 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. 2. Sostenuto pedal If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained for as long as the pedal is held (as if the sustain pedal had been pressed) but all notes played thereafter will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played "staccato." NOTE Organ, string and choir voices will continue to sound for as long as the sostenuto pedal is depressed. 3. Expression This setting allows control of dynamics during performance. 4. Song Play/Pause This setting allows you to start or pause song playback. In this setting, the AUX Pedal functions in the same manner as the [PLAY/PAUSE] button on the panel. Default setting: 1(Soft Pedal) F5.2 Soft Pedal Effect Depth Setting range: 1 - 5 Default setting: 3 This function sets the depth of the soft pedal effect. Detailed Settings - [FUNCTION] F5.3 Sustain Sample Depth Setting range: 0 - 20 Default setting: 12 The GRAND PIANO 1, 3 voice features special "Sustain Samples" that recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano's soundboard and strings when the sustain pedal is pressed. This function lets you adjust the depth of this effect. F5.4 Keyoff Sample Volume Setting range: 0 - 20 Default setting: 10 You can adjust the volume of the keyoff sound (the subtle sound produced when the keys are released) for voices [GRAND PIANO1, 3], [HARPSICHORD], [E.CLAVICHORD]. F5.5 Song Channel Selection Setting range: ALL, 1&2 Default setting: ALL The setting here only affects External songs. You can specify which song channels will play back on this instrument. When "ALL" is selected, channels 1-16 will be played back. When "1&2" is selected, only channels 1 and 2 will be played back, while channels 3-16 will be transmitted via MIDI. F5.6 SUSTAIN PEDAL Type F5.7 AUX PEDAL Type Setting range: 1, 2 Default setting: 1 Depending upon the pedal that is connected to the SUSTAIN PEDAL jack or AUX PEDAL jack, the effect produced by operating the pedal (ON/OFF, dynamics, etc.) might be reversed. If this happens, you can use this setting to correct the pedal operation. The setting range is from 1 to 2. Press the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting of "1." NOTE • Make sure that the power is switched OFF when connecting or disconnecting the pedal. • If the SUSTAIN PEDAL type is set to "2", disconnecting the sustain pedal while the power is switched on may leave the sustain active, causing notes to sustain indefinitely. In this case, switch the power off, then back on. P-140 Owner's Manual 43
