Using the Pedal
[SUSTAIN] jack
This jack is for connecting the included pedal (FC5). The pedal func-
tions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Connect
an optional pedal to this jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound.
An optional FC3 foot pedal or FC4 foot switch can also be connected to
this jack.
Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this
changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed
footswitch operation.
If you connect an optional pedal of FC3, the half pedal function* can be
used.

While you playing the piano with SUSTAIN and if you need to delete the
cloudy sound, release the foot from pedal to half position.
[PEDAL UNIT] jack
This jack is for connecting an optional LP-5 pedal
unit. When connecting the pedal unit, make sure
to also assemble the unit on an optional keyboard
stand (L-85/L-85S).
Make sure that power is OFF when connect-
ing or disconnecting the pedal.
Pedal Unit Functions
The optional pedal unit has three foot pedals that produce a range of
expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic
piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an
acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer.
Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
When you select the GRAND PIANO 1 voice on the P-85, pressing the
damper pedal activates the instrument’s special “Sustain Samples” to
accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand pianos
soundboard and strings. A “half-pedal” effect lets you use the damper
pedal to create 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 sus-
tain 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.

before you release the pedal
have a longer sustain.
When you press the soste-

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