Basic Operation
Using the Pedals
As with a grand piano, the KDP120/KDP75 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.
Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Sustain pedal
Sustain pedal (right pedal)
Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands have been lifted from the keyboard - greatly enriching the piano
sound, while also assisting smooth “legato” passages.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.
Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)
Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that have
been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.
Soft pedal (left pedal)
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
When the Jazz Organ sound is selected, the soft pedal is also used to alternate the speed of the rotary speaker simulation between
“Slow” and “Fast” eect modes.
Grand Feel pedal system (KDP120 only)
The KDP120 digital piano features the new Grand Feel pedal system, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal
weighting of Kawai’s SK-EX Concert Grand piano.

Dual Mode

Basic Operation
Dual Mode
The Dual playing mode allows two sounds to be layered together, creating a more complex sound. For
example, a piano sound layered with strings, or a church organ combined with a choir, etc.

19
Basic Operation
Four Hands Mode
The Four Hands playing mode function divides the keyboard into two sections in a similar way to that of
the Split keyboard mode. However, with Four Hands keyboard mode enabled, the octave/pitch of each
section is automatically adjusted to create two separate 44-key instruments with the same playing range.
Furthermore, the damper (right) pedal and soft (left) pedal act as separate damper pedals for the respective
right and left sections, allowing two people to perform piano duets using a single instrument.
Enabling Four Hands Mode
Press and hold the LESSON button, then press the D#3 key, as shown in the illustration below.
The LED indicators for the LESSON button will start to ash, indicating that Four Hands Mode is enabled.
* The selected keyboard sound can still be changed when Four Hands Mode is enabled.
