Connecting a Pedal Unit (PEDAL UNIT jack)

This jack is for connecting an LP-7A/LP-7AWH pedal

unit (sold separately). When connecting the pedal

unit, make sure to also assemble the unit on the sup-

plied keyboard stand.

• Make sure that power is off when connecting or disconnect-

ing the pedal unit.

• This affects only Main/Dual Voices and Harmony sound

(pages 27, 28 and 31).

• The functions of the pedals of the pedal unit cannot be

changed.

Half Pedal function

(for FC3A and LP-7A/LP-7AWH)

This function allows you to vary the sustain length

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 sus-

tain, you can partially release the pedal to lessen the

sustain (murkiness).

Pedal Unit functions

Damper Pedal (Right)

Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this

pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. This

pedal lets you use the Damper Resonance (page 21) and Half

Pedal (see above) functions. When using both a footswitch

and pedal unit, the last effect applied takes priority.

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

If you play a note or notes on the keyboard and press the sos-

tenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sus-

tain 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 note or notes, for

example, while other notes are played “staccato.”

Soft Pedal (Left)

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.

If you press and hold the

damper pedal here, all the

notes shown will be sustained.

If you press and hold the

sostenuto pedal here, only

the notes held at this timing

will be sustained.
