Connect the pedal unit (included) to the connector on the underside of the keyboard. Once the pedal
unit is connected you can eectively express your performances using the damper, sostenuto and
so functions.

Pressing this pedal will make the tone soer. You can control the soness of the tone de-
pending on how far down you press the pedal (“half-pedaling”).
Sostenuto pedal
Pressing this pedal will apply the damper eect only to the notes that are already being
held down on the keyboard. Only these notes will be sustained. The damper eect will not
be applied to any additional notes that you play while holding down the Sostenuto pedal.
Damper pedal
Pressing this pedal will sustain the sound, producing a richly resonant decay. In addition,
you can change the applied conditions of the damper according to the depth that the tone
pedal of piano 1 and 2 is pressed. (“half-pedaling”).
