Controlling Sounds
Connecting a pedal lets you perform pedal operations
that add various effects during your performances.
Some representative effects are described below. You
can also assign a variety of other functions to the pedal.
For details, see “CONTROLLER Screen” under
“Configuring Digital Keyboard Settings” (page EN-56).
Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the
notes you play to reverberate.
Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal suppresses notes played on the
keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes them
sound softer.
Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this
pedal is pressed are sustained, even if the keyboard
keys are released, until the pedal is released.
Expression Pedal
You can use a pedal to control the volume level and
effect application.
Your Digital Keyboard has two pedal jacks.
■ To connect to the pedal jack
Depending on the type of operation you want the
pedal to perform, connect the pedal’s cable either to the
Digital Keyboard’s PEDAL1 jack or PEDAL2/
EXPRESSION jack.
