pedal on an actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound

different than the damper pedal. If you playa note or chord on the keyboard

sustained as long as the pedal is held. All subsequently played notes will not be
sustained.
Soft Pedal CLeft)
The soft pedal on an acoustic piano changes the character of the sound, making
it softer and quieter. The soft pedal on your piano does exactly the same.
