Sostenuto Controls the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard
and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long
as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This
makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are
played staccato.
 --
Soft Controls the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and
changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain
appropriate Voices.
 --
Glide When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal
pitch when the pedal is released. You can turn this function on or off for
each keyboard part, and make the following settings at the bottom of this
display.
• Up/Down: Determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or
down (is lowered).
• Range: Determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones.
• On Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is
pressed.
• Off Speed: Determines the speed of the pitch change when the pedal is
released.
 --
Mono/Poly Switches whether the Voice is played monophonically or polyphonically.
You can turn this function on or off for each keyboard part at the bottom of
this display.

Portamento The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced
while the pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played
legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held).
The portamento time can also be adjusted from the Voice Edit display
(page 49). You can turn this function on or off for each keyboard part at the
bottom of this display.
