Basic Operations

ENGLISH

Using the Pedals

NOTE

If the damper pedal doesn’t

work, make sure that the

pedal cord is properly

plugged into the main unit

(page 30).

NOTE

While the sostenuto pedal is

held, the organ and strings

Voices sound continuously

without decay after the notes

have been released.

Damper Pedal (Right)

Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing

this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained

notes. This pedal also features a “half-pedal” function

that creates partial sustain effects, depending on how

far down you press the pedal.

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.”

Soft Pedal (Left)

Pressing this pedal will reduce the volume and slightly change the timbre of the notes. The

notes played before this pedal is pressed are not affected. When you select the Jazz

Organ Voice, pressing the left pedal switches between fast/slow rotation of the rotary

speaker (page 16).

Using the Damper Resonance

The Damper Resonance effect simulates the sustain sound of the damper pedal on a grand piano, as if you were pressing

the damper pedal and playing the keyboard. This effect is applied to the entire sound of the instrument.

Default setting:

OnTo turn on the Damper Resonance:

While holding [PIANO/VOICE], press the G



2 key.

To turn off the Damper Resonance:

While holding [PIANO/VOICE], press the G2 key.

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).
