Min Max Mellow Bright 10 Before You Begin Playing About the Pedals The pedals have the following functions, and are used mainly for piano performance. fig.pedal Disabling Functions Other Than Piano Performance (Panel Lock) The "Panel Lock" function locks the HPi-5 in a state where only piano performance can be used, and all buttons will be disabled. This prevents the settings from being inadvertently modified even if children press the buttons accidentally. * In the Panel Lock state, only the grand piano sound can be played. Also, nothing will be displayed in the screen. Soft Pedal Damper Pedal Sostenuto Pedal 1 Turn the volume to the minimum, and press the [Power] switch to turn off the power. Damper pedal (right pedal) While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after you take your fingers off the keys. The depth to which you press the pedal will subtly affect the duration of the sustain. On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the sounds that you played from the keyboard, adding a rich resonance. The HPi-5 simulates this sympathetic resonance. * You can adjust the amount of sympathetic resonance that occurs when you press the damper pedal. Refer to "Adjusting the depth of the effects (Effects)" (p. 43). 2 Hold down the [Function] button, and press the [Power] switch to turn on the power. Continue holding down the button for one or two seconds. Adjust the volume. When you play the keyboard, the grand piano sound will be heard. To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume down to the minimum, and turn on the power once again. 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) When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the sound will have a softer tone. The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal. * The Sostenuto pedal and Soft pedal can be given functions other than these. Refer to "Changing the function of the pedals (Pedal)" (p. 45).
