Using the pedals<br />

The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto<br />

pedal (center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive<br />

effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.<br />

Damper (right) pedal<br />

When you press the damper pedal, the notes<br />

you play have a longer sustain.<br />

When you select Grand Piano 1, pressing the<br />

damper pedal activates the instrument’s special<br />

“Sustain Samples” to accurately recreate the<br />

unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s<br />

soundboard and strings.<br />

Sostenuto (center) pedal<br />

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard<br />

and press the sostenuto pedal while holding<br />

the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as<br />

the pedal is held. All subsequent notes will<br />

not sustain.<br />

Soft pedal (left)<br />

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes<br />

played while the pedal is pressed. (The soft pedal will not affect notes that are<br />

already playing when it is pressed. Press the pedal immediately before you<br />

play the target notes.)<br />

With the Vibraphone and Jazz Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on and<br />

off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 93.)<br />

Selecting and Playing Voices<br />

TIP<br />

If the damper pedal doesn’t<br />

work, or notes are sustained<br />

even when the pedal is not<br />

pressed, make sure that the<br />

pedal cord is properly<br />

plugged into the PEDAL jack<br />

on the unit (see step 5 on<br />

page 113 (<strong>CLP</strong>-<strong>150</strong>), see<br />

step 6 on page 116 (<strong>CLP</strong>-<br />

<strong>170</strong>)). Also, make sure that<br />

the RPedal parameter in the<br />

“VOICE SETTING” menu is<br />

set to ON (see page 83).<br />

TIP<br />

You can adjust the depth of<br />

the resonance produced by<br />

the “Sustain Samples” using<br />

the Sustain Sampling Depth<br />

parameter in the “OTHER<br />

SETTING” menu. (See<br />

page 93.)<br />

TIP<br />

You can assign a function to<br />

each pedal via the “R<br />

Pedal”, “M Pedal”, and “L<br />

Pedal” parameters in the<br />

“VOICE SETTING” menu.<br />

(See pages 83, 84.)<br />

TIP<br />

The center and left pedals<br />

can also be assigned to<br />

song start/stop operation<br />

(START/STOP function) via<br />

the “PedalStart/Stop”<br />

parameter in the “OTHER<br />

SETTING” menu (on<br />

page 94).<br />
