Your Digital Piano comes equipped with three pedals:
damper, soft, and sostenuto
Pedal Functions
Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the
notes you play to reverberate.
•When grand piano is selected as the tone, using this
pedal generates harmonic and other resonance, just
like the damper pedal on an acoustic grand piano.
Half-pedal operation (pressing the pedal part way)
is also supported.
Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal while playing suppresses notes
played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed,
and makes them sound softer.
Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this
pedal is pressed are sustained, even if the keyboard
keys are released, until the pedal is released.
•If pressing the pedal does not produce the desired
effect, it could mean that the pedal cord is not
connected properly. Refer to step 2 under “To
connect the cables” (page EN-59).
1. Press the 3SETTING button to display the
setting screen.
2. Use the clwand qarrow buttons to
select “General” and then press the
cmENTER button.
3. Use the clwand qarrow buttons to
select “Half Pedal Pos.”.
4. Use the clu(–) and i(+) arrow buttons to
change the setting value and adjust the half
pedal trigger position.
•+1 or greater: Deeper trigger position
–1 or less: Shallower trigger position
•The setting range is –2 to +2.
5. Press the 3SETTING button to exit the
setting screen.

The tones of your Digital Piano have built-in elements that give them the characteristic reverberation of an acoustic
piano. Each of these elements can be individually adjusted as described below.
Adjusting Acoustic Piano Sound Characteristics
Display Name Description Setting Range
Hammer Response Hammer Response. The size of the hammers that strike the strings in an acoustic
piano changes according to the key range, so the timing of note sounding also
changes with the range. This settings lets you select timing of note sounding.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
Off: Fastest response across entire keyboard, regardless of range.
1 to 10: A greater value produces slower timing.
D (Default),
Off (Disabled),
1 to 10
Lid Simulator Lid Simulator. Timbre changes depending on how much the lid of an acoustic piano
is open. You can select one of the lid opening settings described below.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
Closed: Lid closed.
Semi (Semi-open): Lid partially open.
Full (Full-open): Lid fully open.
Removed: Lid removed.
D (Default),
Closed,
Semi,
Full,
Removed
Damper Resonance Damper Resonance. Pressing the damper pedal on an acoustic piano opens all 88 of
the strings, causing all of the strings that are harmonics of the strings that are played
to resonate. You can select one of the resonance settings described below.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
• Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the effect level.
D (Default),
Off (Disabled),
1 to 10
Damper Noise Damper Noise. Damper noise is a slight metallic ringing sound that is generated as
the damper of an acoustic piano separates from the wires pedal when the damper
pedal is pressed. You can use the settings below to adjust the volume level of
damper noise.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
• Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the noise level.
D (Default),
Off (Disabled),
1 to 10
String Resonance String Resonance. Playing on an acoustic piano causes the strings that are harmonics
of the played strings to resonate. You can select one of the resonance settings
described below.
• Default: Optimum setting for currently selected tone.
• Off (Disabled), 1 to 10: A larger value increases the resonance level.

DSP makes it possible to digitally produce complex
acoustic effects. The DSP is assigned to each tone
whenever you turn on Digital Piano power.
You can split the keyboard in the center for duet play
so the left and right sides have the same ranges.
The left pedal operates as the left side damper pedal,
while the right pedal is the right side damper pedal.
The Duet Mode is the perfect way to conduct lessons,
with the teacher playing on the left side as the student
playing the same song on the right side.
•Only the damper pedal for the right side keyboard
supports half-pedal operations.
1. Specify the number of the tone you want to
use.
•See “Selecting and Playing a Tone” on page EN-10 for
information about how to select a tone.
