. Sustainpedal

When a key is released while this pedal is depressed, the sound is sustained so that it lingers and slowly fades out.

. For the piano sounds, the sustain effect is on

for the 17 rightmost keys at all times, just like an acoustic piano.

. PR350: This pedal is a four-stage pedal, and

the length of the sustain is controlled by the degree to which the pedal is depressed.

. If the SUSTAIN PEDAL button is off, the sus-

tain effect does not work.

. Sostenutopedal(PR250/PR350)

When this pedal is pressed, the notes for the keys already held--down will be sustained. If the pedal is pressed first and the keys are then pressed, the sustain effect is not applied to those notes.

. For continuous-type sounds, such as ORGAN,

the notes sound as long as the pedal is pressed.

. Soft pedal

When this pedal is depressed, the overall sound

is softer and the volume is slightly lower.

nics which allows the piano player to use all the accompaniment patterns, which are rearranged from the original patterns and which are without

piano accompaniment. This means that when you

use the PIANIST ACCOMP, mostly non-piano in- struments are used in ACCOMP 1, 2 and 3 (ex-

cept for the ACCOMP 1 part of the SWING rhythm). The idea is to be able to play the only piano sound by yourself and still be able to have a "band" assisting you which does not include piano sounds. In this way your piano will give you additional possibilities for accompaniment varia- tion and more sound flexibility.
