Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an extended time even if you release your
ngers from the keyboard.
On an acoustic piano, when you step on the damper pedal, you’ll rst hear the sound of the dampers releasing the strings.
Then, you should also be able to hear the sound of strings adjacent to the ones for the notes actually played resonate sympathetically,
resulting in a rich, resounding tone.
Additionally, when using half-pedaling techniques, the core of the sound disappears rapidly while a rich, spacious resonance remains,
producing a unique form of reverberation. On the unit, the unique, lingering tones produced by the half-pedaling technique are
reproduced in addition to released-string sounds (Damper Noise) and resonating sounds (Damper Resonance).
With the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, when you step on the pedal it will at rst oer only a slight amount of resistance, but as
you press down further it will start to feel much heavier. On KPD-90, this change in the feeling of resistance is simulated.
Sostenuto Pedal
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be sustained.
Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer. Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong
as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of a grand piano. The
softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal.
Pedals (KPD-90/RPU-3: sold separately)
* When operating the pedal, take care not to pinch your ngers between the moving part and the body of the unit. Pay special attention to this when using the unit where
children are present.
