CVP-701 Owner’s Manual

The instrument features three pedals.

 Damper pedal (Right)

Pressing this pedal lets you sustain notes even after releasing the keys.

When you select a Piano Voice compatible with VRM (page 49),

pressing this pedal activates the VRM to accurately recreate the

unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and

strings. This pedal can be used to control the half-pedal function.

Half-pedal function:

This function allows the sustain length to vary depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther you

press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if you press the damper pedal and the notes you

play sound a bit murky and loud with too much sustain, you can partially release the pedal to lessen the

sustain (murkiness). The point at which pressure on the pedal affects the damper muting (half pedal point)

can be set in the following way: [DIRECT ACCESS] button → press the damper pedal → [A]/[B] RIGHT →

[4] HALF PEDAL POINT

NOTE

Certain Voices, such as [STRINGS] or [BRASS], sustain continuously when the damper/sostenuto pedal is pressed. Also, certain Voices such as

drum kits may not be affected by use of the damper/sostenuto pedal.

 Sostenuto pedal (Center)

When the Piano Voice is selected, if you play a note or chord on the

keyboard and press this pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will

sustain as long as the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will not

sustain. When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function

appropriate for the Voice is automatically assigned to the center pedal.

 Soft pedal (Left)

When the Piano Voice is selected, pressing this pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of

the notes you play. When a Voice other than piano is selected, a specific function appropriate for the Voice

is automatically assigned to the left pedal. You can adjust the depth of the left pedal effect. Voice Selection

display → [8] MENU1 → [5] VOICE SET → TAB [L][R] CONTROLLER → [A]/[B] LEFT PEDAL. For

details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9), Chapter 11.

Using the Pedals

Making settings for the pedals

You can assign one of the various functions to the three pedals or a foot controller/footswitch (sold

separately) doing things like controlling the Super Articulation Voices or starting and stopping the Song

(page 105).
