Changing the Amount of Resonance of the Damper Pedal
On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes the notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich reverbera-
tions and thickness to the sound. On the FP-9 as well, when you choose a piano tone, depressing the damper pedal automatically
adds this resonance (sympathetic resonance) to the sound. This resonance is added to the six tones in the Piano 1 and Piano 2
Tone Groups.
You can vary the depth (amount) of resonance at this time within an eight-step range.
