Preparing to Play

Using a pedal

You can plug a pedal into the FOOT CONTROLLER jack on the

rear panel or into the pedal jack on the underside of the XE20 to

use as a damper pedal, or to control the volume.

Use the SETTING function to make the pedal seings, according

to which kind of pedal you will connect (see page 25

“Changing the pedal polarity” and page 25 “Changing the

pedal function”).

For the XE20: damper pedal included with the XE20, or the

PU-2 pedal unit (sold separately)

For the XE20SP: pedal unit included with the XE20SP,

which aaches to the stand

Connect the pedal to the PEDAL jack on the underside of

the keyboard unit.

Tip:

On German Piano and Italy Piano sounds, the pedal

unit included with the XE20SP (or the PU-2, which is sold

separately) lets you control the degree of the damper eect

(the half-pedal eect) according to how far you press the

pedal. For other sounds, this will function as a damper

switch. While the pedal is pressed, the notes you play will

sustain, even aer you take your ngers o the keyboard.

Note:

Note that the damper eect does not work on the

lower part.

Tip:

With the pedal unit included with the XE20SP (or the

PU-2, which is sold separately), sostenuto works only on the

German Piano and Italy Piano sounds.

XE20, XE20SP: When using the DS-1H (damper pedal, sold

separately) or PS-1/PS-3 (pedal switch, sold separately)

Plug the pedal into the FOOT CONTROLLER jack on the

rear panel.

Tip:

On German Piano and Italy Piano sounds, the DS-1H

damper pedal lets you control the degree of the damper

eect (the half-pedal eect) according to how far you press

the pedal. For other sounds, this will function as a damper

switch. While the pedal is pressed, the notes you play will

sustain, even aer you take your ngers o the keyboard.
