Now play the keyboard. You should hear the rich tone of the default Grand Piano
sound,
Piano Pedals
Just like a regular grand piano, your piano features 3 foot pedals:
Damper Pedal (Right>
The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper
pedal on an actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound
of the notes being played after releasing your fingers from the keys,

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
The sostenuto pedal also allows you to sustain notes, but it works a little
different than the damper pedal. If you playa note or chord on the keyboard
and press the sostenuto pedal while the notes are held, those notes will be
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.
Press the soft pedal when you need to play passages that require extreme pianiSSimo.
