Pedal functions

• Damper pedal

Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and

to sustain longer.

• Soft pedal

Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly

reduces their volume. Only notes played after the

pedal is depressed are affected, and any notes

played before the pedal is pressed sound at their

normal volume.

• Sostenuto pedal

Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to

reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference

between the two pedals is the timing when they

are pressed.

With the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after

depressing the notes you want to sustain. Only the

notes whose keyboard keys are depressed when the

sostenuto pedal is pressed are affected.

Selecting the Pedal Function

A pedal connected to the piano’s PEDAL jack can

operate as either a soft pedal or a sostenuto pedal.

When you turn on the keyboard, the pedal is initially

configured for soft pedal operation. You can perform

the following operation to select either soft or

sostenuto for the pedal operation.

While holding down the CONTROL

button, use the keyboard keys shown below

to select either soft or sostenuto.

Using the Built-in Metronome

You can use the metronome to sound a count that helps

keep you in proper time.

Press the METRONOME button.

• This starts the metronome.

While holding down the CONTROL

button, press the BEAT [

] or [ ] button

to specify how many beats there are per

measure.

• The first value of the beat can be set to a value

of 2 through 6. The bell (indicating the first beat

of a measure) does not sound while a value of 0

is specified. All beats are indicated by a click

sound. This setting lets you practice with a

steady beat, without worrying about how many

beats there are in each measure.

While holding down the CONTROL

button, use the TEMPO [

] and [ ]

buttons to change the tempo (speed) of the

metronome.

• You can also use keyboard keys to change the

tempo setting (See page E-12).

Press the METRONOME button again to

stop the metronome.
