* Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the power is on
may cause the pedal’s effect to be applied without stopping.
The power of the FP-5 must be turned off before inserting or
removing a pedal cord.
Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While the pedal is
depressed, long lingering reverberations continue to be
added to the sound after you release from the keys.
The pedal included with the FP-5 functions as a half-damper
pedal, which allows you to adjust the amount of resonance.
When you depress the damper pedal on an acoustic piano,
the sound from the strings that were struck resonates with
other strings, adding rich reverberations and broadness to
the sound. You can adjust this resonance (sympathetic
resonance) when the damper pedal is depressed.
* With the pedal connected to the Damper jack, it can be
assigned other functions as well. Refer to “Changing the
Sound’s Pitch in Real Time (Pedal Control)” (p. 27).
* Set the switch on the included pedal to “Continuous” when
the pedal is connected.
Sostenuto Pedal
This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were
already played when you pressed the pedal.
* With the pedal connected to the Sostenuto(FC1) jack, it can be
assigned other functions as well. Refer to “Changing How the
Pedals Work” (p. 43), “Using the Pedal to Switch Setup
(Pedal shift)” (p. 52).
Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that
is not as strong as when otherwise played with the
equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left
pedal of an acoustic piano.
* With the pedal connected to the Soft(FC2) jack, it can be
assigned other functions as well. Refer to “Changing How the
Pedals Work” (p. 43), “Using the Pedal to Switch Setup
(Pedal shift)” (p. 52).
* By obtaining a second and third pedal, you can then use three
pedals simultaneously. If you wish to purchase the optional
pedal (DP series), please contact the dealer where you
purchased the FP-5.
Turning the Power On and
Off
* Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to
your various devices in the order specified. By turning on
devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/
or damage to speakers and other devices.
