Playing the Keyboard
16 • NU1X Owner’s Manual
The instrument has three pedals that produce a range of
expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on
an acoustic piano.
Damper Pedal (Right)
Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this pedal immediately stops
(damps) any sustained notes. The damper pedal features a half-pedal function.
Half-pedal function
This function allows the sustain length to vary 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 all notes you are playing sound a bit murky and loud
with too much sustain, you can release the pedal half way to subdue the sustain (murk-
iness).
To set the Half Pedal Point:
While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press one of the A#4–E5 keys. This operation
sets the degree to which pressing the damper pedal applies the half-pedal effect. The
smaller the value, the shallower the half-pedal point. The larger the value, the deeper
the half-pedal point.
Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
Pressing this pedal while holding the notes will sustain the pressed notes (as if the
damper pedal had been pressed), but all subsequently played notes will not be sus-
tained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while the other notes are
played “staccato.”
Soft Pedal (Left)
Pressing this pedal will reduce the volume and slightly change the timbre of the notes.
The notes played before this pedal is pressed are not affected.
Using the Pedals
If you press and hold the damper pedal here,
all the notes shown will be sustained.
Setting range: -2 (A#4) – 4 (E5)
Default Setting: 0
GP Responsive Damper Pedal
This special pedal has been designed to provide enhanced tactile response and, when
pressed, is much closer in feel to the pedal of an actual grand piano. It makes it easier
to physically experience the half-pedal point and more easily apply the half-pedal
effect than other pedals.

A#4
NOTE
While the sostenuto pedal is held, the
Organ (Display numbers 12–14; page 17)
or Piano + Strings (Display number 15)
Voices sound continuously without decay
after the notes have been released.
If you press and hold the sostenuto pedal here, only
the notes held at this timing will be sustained.
