Assigning a Specific Function to Each Pedal or ASSIGNABLE button

CVP-709/CVP-705 Reference Manual

Assignable Pedal Functions

For functions indicated with “*”, use only the Foot Controller; proper operation cannot be done with a Footswitch.

For functions indicated with “**”, they can be assigned also to the ASSIGNABLE [1] – [4] buttons.

Articulation 1/2**

When you use a Super Articulation Voice that has an effect assigned to the pedal/

footswitch, you can enable the effect by pressing the pedal/footswitch.

Volu me*

Controls the volume. This function is available only for the foot controller connected

to the instrument’s [AUX PEDAL] jack.

Sustain

Controls the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal, all notes played on the

keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any

sustained notes. The “Half Pedal Point” parameter allows you to specify how far down

you should press on the pedal until the damper effect starts working. This can be set

for all pedals on the CVP-709, as well as the right pedal and the foot controller

connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack on the CVP-705.

Sostenuto

Controls the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the

pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held.

However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a

chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.

NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes and only some of the Super

Articulation Voices.

Soft

Controls the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and changes the timbre

of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain appropriate Voices. The “Half

Pedal Point” parameter allows you to specify how far down you should press on the

pedal until the soft effect starts working. This can be set for all pedals on the CVP-709,

as well as the right pedal and the foot controller connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack

on the CVP-705.

Glide

When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when

the pedal is released.

•Up/Down:

Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is

lowered).

•Range: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.

• On Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is pressed.

• Off Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is released.

Portamento

The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal

is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is

played while the preceding note is still held). The portamento time can also be adjusted

form the Voice Edit display (page 43). This function does not affect certain Natural

Voices, which would not sound appropriately with this function.

NOTE This function will not affect any of the Organ Flutes, Super Articulation 2 Voices (CVP-709

only) and only some of the Super Articulation Voices.

Pitch Bend*

Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. This function can

be assigned to all pedals on the CVP-709, as well as the right pedal and the foot

controller connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack on the CVP-705.

•Up/Down:

Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is

lowered).

•Range: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.

Modulation*

Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. Moreover, various effects can

be added to the Super Articulation Voice. The effect becomes deeper when pressing

down the foot controller.

Modulation (Alt)

Unlike the Modulation above, pressing the pedal or footswitch alternates the on/off

status of the vibrato effect.

Effect Variation On/Off**

Switches the Insertion Effect Variation (page 45) on and off.
