About the Pedals

The pedals perform the following operations. You’ll use them

mainly when playing piano.

Damper Pedal (right pedal)

While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an

extended time even if you release your fingers from the

keyboard.

On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will

cause the strings for notes other than the ones you actually

play to vibrate in sympathy with what you’ve played,

producing a rich resonance. The RP101 simulates this

sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).

NOTE

You can change the amount of resonance applied with

the damper pedal. Refer to “Changing the Damper

Pedal’s Resonance (Damper Resonance)” (p. 34).

Sostenuto Pedal (center pedal)

This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were

already played when you pressed the pedal.

Soft Pedal (left pedal)

This pedal is used to make the sound softer.

The volume
