1) Damper Pedal
While the Damper Pedal is depressed, notes that have been
played will continue to sound even after your fingers have
been removed from those keys.
2) Sostenuto Pedal
This pedal is used to sustain only the sound of those keys that
are pressed at the very moment the pedal is depressed. Notes
played afterwards are not effected.
3) Soft Pedal
When depressed, you obtain a softer sound.
Key Touch Function
This instrument allows you to select one of three touch set-
tings. These settings determine how the keyboard will
respond to certain playing dynamics. Choose the setting
which is most comfortable.
Medium
Key Touch
Heavy
This is the standard setting. The response provided by this set-
ting is generally perceived as being the most natural.
Light
Light Heavy
With this setting, the keys will seem lighter to the touch, and
fortissimo levels can be achieved with much less effort.
Heavy
Light Hesvy
Je
With this setting, the keys will seem heavier to the touch, and
you will need to apply even more force than normal to obtain
fortissimo levels.
* When powered up, the instrument will be at the default
setting (Medium).
