Pedals
Sustain pedal
When a key is released while this pedal is depressed, the
sound is sustained so that it lingers and slowly fades out.
• This effect does not work for the sounds in the DRUM
KITS group.
• This effect does not work for some sounds.
• The length of the sustain can be set for each part. (Refer
to page 104.)
• PR804: This pedal is an eight-stage pedal, and the length
of the sustain is controlled by the degree to which the
pedal is depressed.
Sostenuto pedal
If this pedal is pressed while the keys are pressed, the sustain
effect is applied to those notes only. If the pedal is pressed
first and the keys are then pressed, the sustain effect does
not work for those notes.
• For continuous-type sounds, such as ORGAN, the notes
sound as long as the pedal is pressed.
• You can select a different function to control with this
pedal. (Refer to page 121.)
Soft pedal
When this pedal is depressed, the sound is softer and the
volume is slightly lower.
• You can select a different function to control with this
pedal. (Refer to page 121.)
String resonance
String resonance is the sound heard in an acoustic piano
when the struck strings produce a sympathetic resonance of
the other unstruck strings. For the GRAND PIANO and
UPRIGHT PIANO sounds, string resonance is produced as
long as the sustain pedal is depressed. The amount of string
resonance can be adjusted.
1. Press and hold the GRAND button for about
3 seconds.
• STRING RESONANCE DEPTH is shown on the display.
2. Use the
∧
and
∨
buttons to adjust the amount
of resonance (0 to 99).
• The higher the number, the greater the amount of reso-
nance.
• When set to 0, there is no string resonance.
