Selecting & Playing Voices

Using the Pedals

The H01 has three foot pedals: damper

(right) pedal, sostenuto (center) pedal,

and soft (left) pedal that produce a

range of expressive effects similar to

those produced by the pedals on an

acoustic piano.

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 key-

board 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 sustained.

This makes it possible to sustain a

chord, for example, while other notes

are played "staccato."

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.

H01 Owner's Manual

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.

NOTE

If the damper pedal doesn't work,

make sure that the pedal cord is

properly plugged into the main

unit (page 24).

NOTE

Organ and string voices will con-

tinue to sound for as long as the

sostenuto pedal is depressed.
