Introduction
You can produce a natural sustain as you play by
pressing the included footswitch plugged into the
[SUSTAIN] jack.
Also an optional FC3A foot pedal or FC4A or FC5
footswitch can be connected to this jack. The FC3A
lets you use the Half Pedal function.
Damper Resonance
When you select a Piano Voice, pressing the foot-
switch activates the Damper Resonance/ Sustain
sampling effect (when on) to accurately recreate
the resonance of an acoustic piano’s strings.
To turn the effect on and enable footswitch control,
simultaneously hold down [PIANO] and press the
C#3 key; to turn it off, simultaneously hold down
[PIANO] and press C3.
Default setting: on
The [PEDAL UNIT] jack is for connecting an
optional LP-1B/LP-1WH pedal unit. When connect-
ing the pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit
on an optional keyboard stand (L-125B/L-125WH).
Damper (Right) Pedal
Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releas-
ing this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sus-
tained notes. The damper pedal is compatible with the
Damper Resonance (see column at left). A “half-
pedal” function of this pedal creates partial sustain
effects, depending on how far down you press the
pedal.
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press
the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those
notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if
the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subse-
quently played notes will not be sustained. This makes
it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other
notes are played “staccato.
Soft (Left) Pedal
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly
changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is
pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are
already playing when it is pressed.
Using a Pedal (Sustain)
Damper Resonance cannot be used in Duo (page 15).
Half-pedal function (for FC3A and Pedal Unit)
This function allows you to vary the sustain length
depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The far-
ther 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 (murki-
ness).
Do not press the footswich when turning the power on. Doing this changes the
recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.
Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the footswitch
or pedal.
Using the Optional Pedal Unit
NOTE
NOTE
Make sure that power is off when connecting or disconnecting the pedal unit.
When the “Jazz Organ” is selected, pressing and releasing this pedal switches
between “fast” and “slow” of the Rotary Speaker speed. When the Vibraphone is
selected, this pedal switches Vibrato on and off.
