KORG Concert 800 - Manual (Page 8)

U s i n g t h e P e d a l s
Here’s how to use the optional pedal stand for
more flexible control of your performance.
The pedal connected to the DAMPER jack is called
the damper pedal, while the pedal connected to
the SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack is called the soft pedal.
It is possible to use the soft pedal as a
sostenuto pedal if you want. These pedals work in
the same way as the pedals of an ordinary piano.
[Using the Soft Pedal as a Sostenuto Pedal]
Í While holding down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE switch, press the soft pedal once to I
switch it over for use as a sostenuto pedal. Repeating the procedure restores
the original soft pedal function.
★The pedal always starts out in soft pedal mode when power is first turned on.
Effect of the Hamper i Pedal
Extends the duration of each note beyond the time when the key is released, for a
rich, connected sound.
lEffect of the Soft Pedal
Keys struck while the pedal is depressed are played at lower volume.
¡Effect of the Sostenuto Pedal
Notes already being played at the instant the pedal is pressed are extended beyond
the time when their keys are released--in effect a selective damper pedal.
[Applying the Damper and Sostenuto Effects to Only One of Two Layered Timbres]
MIDI/TRANSPOSE
Normally when layering, the damper and sos­
tenuto pedals affect both of the layered tim­
bres. However it is possible to select one or
the other to be independently affected.
Assuming that piano and vibes are selected;
©Pressing the damper pedal while holding
down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE switch directs the
C-800 to apply the damper and sostenuto
effects to the piano (or vibes) timbre only.
(DPressing the pedal again selects the vibes
(or piano) timbre only.
(©Pressing the pedal a third time returns to
the initial state. (See diagram at right. )
