Assignable Pedal Functions

Sustain

  • Allows you to use a pedal to control 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.

Sostenuto

  • Allows you to use a pedal to control 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 make it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.

Soft

  • Allows you to use a pedal to control 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.

Glide

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

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. Portamento time can also be adjusted from the mixing console. This function does not affect certain natural voices, which would not sound appropriately with this function.

Pitch Bend

  • Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal..(but be carefull)

Modulation

  • Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. Moreover, various effects can be added to the s. Articulation voice. The effect becomes deeper when pressing down the foot controller. You can turn this function on/off for each keyboard part on this display.
