Using the Pedals

Damper (Right) Pedal

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a

damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the

damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer.

Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any

sustained notes.

Sostenuto (Center) Pedal

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and

press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are

held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold

the pedal (as if the damper pedal had been pressed)

but all subsequently played notes will not be sus-

tained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord,

for example, while other notes are played "stac-

cato."

Soft (Left) Pedal

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while

the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it

is pressed.

When you press the damper pedal

here, the notes you play before you

release the pedal sustain longer.

When you press the sostenuto

pedal here while holding the note,

the note will sustain as long as you

hold the pedal.

YDP-151/YDP-323

If the damper pedal doesn't

work, make sure that the pedal

cord is properly plugged into the

main unit (page 35).

Organ and string voices will

continue to sound for as long as

the sostenuto pedal is

depressed.
