Yamaha CLP-122S - Manual (Page 11)

11
The CLP-122 S has two foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to
those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.
The Pedals
When the power is turned on the left pedal is set for soft pedal operation. Press-
ing the soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes
played.
The left pedal can be switched to sostenuto operation by pressing the pedal
while holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. If you play a note or chord on the
keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will
be sustained as long as the pedal is held (as if the damper pedal had been pressed)
but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to
sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.” You can
switch back to soft pedal operation at any time simply by pressing the pedal while
holding the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button again.
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic
piano. When the damper pedal is pressed notes played have a long sustain. When
no REVERB effect is selected and a piano voice is selected, the damper pedal also
produces a special “resonance” that simulates the ring of the strings and the sound
board of an acoustic piano. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any
sustained notes.
