Selecting and Playing Voices

Using the pedals

The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto

pedal (center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive

effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

If the damper pedal doesn’t

work, or notes are sustained

even when the pedal is not

pressed, make sure that the

RPedal parameter in the

“VOICE SETTING” menu is

set to ON (see page 81).

Damper (right) pedal

When you press the damper pedal, the notes

you play have a longer sustain.

When you select Grand Piano 1, pressing the

damper pedal activates the instrument’s special

“Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the

unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s

soundboard and strings.

You can adjust the depth of

the resonance produced by

the “Sustain Samples” using

the Sustain Sampling Depth

parameter in the “OTHER

SETTING” menu. (See page

88.)

Sostenuto (center) pedal

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard

and press the sostenuto pedal while holding

the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as

the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will

not sustain.

You can assign a function to

each pedal via the “R

Pedal”, “M Pedal”, and “L

Pedal” parameters in the

“VOICE SETTING” menu.

(See page 81, 82.)

The center and left pedals

can also be assigned to

song start/stop operation

(START/PAUSE function) via

the “PedalStart/Pause”

parameter in the “OTHER

SETTING” menu (on page

89).

Soft pedal (left)

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. Press the pedal immediately before you

play the target notes.)

With the Vibraphone and Jazz Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on and

off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 82.)

TIP

When you press the damper

pedal here, the notes you

play before you release the

pedal have a longer sustain.

TIP

When you press the sostenuto

pedal here while holding the

note(s), the notes will sustain

as long as you hold the pedal.
