Selecting & Playing Voices Using the Pedals ENGLISH The N-100 has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano. Damper pedal (right) When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play have a longer sustain.

C#2 Hall 1 For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting.
Selecting & Playing Voices Transposition The N-100’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “+5,” playing key C produces pitch F.
