NOTE
If the damper pedal doesn’t work, make sure that the pedal cord
is properly plugged into the main unit (page 23).

Half-pedal function
This function allows you to vary the sustain length depending on
how far the pedal is pressed. The farther down you press the
pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if you press the
damper pedal and all notes you are playing sound a bit murky
and loud with too much sustain, you can release the pedal half
way or higher to decrease the sustain (murkiness).

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

Pressing this pedal while holding the notes will
sustain the pressed notes (as if the Damper Pedal
had been pressed), but all subsequently played
notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible
to sustain a chord or single low note, for example,
while the other notes are played “staccato.”

When you press the sostenuto pedal here

while holding the note, the note will sustain as
long as you hold the pedal.

NOTE
While the sostenuto pedal is held, the organ and strings Voices
sound continuously without decay after the notes have been
released.
