4.
Use the bo dial to select a pedal effect type.
Available pedal effects are shown in the table below.
You can connect the optionally available 3-Pedal Unit (SP-34)
to the dk PEDAL UNIT jack on the back of the Digital Piano.
You can then use the pedals for expression that is similar to
that available on an acoustic piano.
SP-34 Pedal Functions
Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes
you play to reverberate. The SP-34 pedal also supports half-
pedal operation, so pressing the pedal part way applies only a
partial damper effect.
Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal suppresses notes played on the keyboard
after the pedal was pressed, and makes them sound softer.
Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this pedal
is pressed are sustained, even if the keyboard keys are
released, until the pedal is released.
You can use the pitch bend wheel to slide the pitch of notes
smoothly upwards and downwards. This capability makes it
possible to reproduce saxophone and electric guitar choking
effects.
1.
While playing a note on the
keyboard, rotate the cq PITCH
BEND wheel on the left of the
keyboard upwards or
downwards.
The amount the note bends depends on
how much you rotate the pitch bend
wheel.
Do not touch the wheel as you turn on
the keyboard.
You also can configure pitch bend wheel operation by
specifying the amount of pitch change at maximum rotation
in either direction. See function number 10 (Bend Rng) in
the “Function Setting Item List” (page EN-46).
The transpose feature lets you raise or lower the overall pitch
of the Digital Piano in semitone steps.
You can use this feature to raise or lower the keyboard key
and to play a piece in a key that is more comfortable for you,
or to adjust to a key that better matches a vocalist, etc.
