Using Pedals
( HOLD PEDAL/ CTRL PEDAL)
You can connect a hold pedal (sold separately: DP series) and an expression pedal (sold separately: EV-5) to
the VP-770.
If an optional hold pedal (DP series) is connected to the rear panel PEDAL HOLD jack, you can press the
hold pedal to cause notes to sustain or “hold” even after their keys have been released. If an optional
expression pedal or pedal switch (EV-5, DP series.) is connected to the rear panel PEDAL CTRL jack (1, 2),
you can use the pedal to control the volume or various functions.
Holding Notes
While playing the keyboard, press the hold pedal.
The notes will be held while you are pressing the hold pedal.
You can change the hold pedal settings by editing the registration’s “Hold Mode” (p. 87, p. 89), “Hold
Type” (p. 87), and “Hold Freeze Part” (p. 83) settings.
Adding Expression to Your Performance
While playing the keyboard, raise and lower the
expression pedal.
The expression pedal will vary not just the volume of the Ensemble part but also the
tonal character.
You can change the pedal settings by editing the system’s polarity settings (Hold Pol, P1 Pol, P2
Pol) (p. 100).
Pedal Settings
Here’s how to edit the pedal-related settings.
Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the hold or expression
pedal.
The display will show the edit screen for the pedal you pressed.
Use the cursor buttons and the value dial
to change the value.
