Pedal

Damper Pedal

Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an extended time even if you release your ngers from the keyboard.

With the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, when you step on the pedal it will at rst oer only a slight amount of resistance, but as you press down further it will start to feel much heavier. On the unit, this change in the feeling of resistance is simulated.

On an acoustic piano, when you step on the damper pedal, you’ll rst hear the sound of the dampers releasing the strings. Then, you should also be able to hear the sound of strings adjacent to the ones for the notes actually played resonate

Adjuster

Turn the adjuster to lower it until the adjuster is in rm contact with the oor. In particular, when you’ve placed the piano on carpet, you must turn the adjuster until it is pressing rmly against the oor.

* When operating the pedal, take care not to pinch your ngers between the moving part and the body of the unit. Pay special attention to this when using the unit where

children are present.

sympathetically, resulting in a rich, resounding tone. Additionally, when using half-pedaling techniques, the core of the sound disappears rapidly while a rich, spacious resonance

remains, producing a unique form of reverberation. On the unit, the unique, lingering tones produced by the half-pedaling technique are reproduced in addition to released-string sounds (Damper Noise) and resonating sounds (Damper Resonance).

Sostenuto Pedal

The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be sustained.

Soft Pedal

This pedal is used to make the sound softer. Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of a grand piano. The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal.

Operation Guide

Selecting a Tone

In addition to piano sounds, the unit lets you enjoy performing with many other sounds.

These sounds are called “Tones.” The Tones are divided into ve groups, each of which is assigned to a dierent Tone button.
