Using the pedals The LP-350 has three pedals; damper, sostenuto, and soft. You can use the pedals to make your playing more expressive and realistic. Soft pedal Sostenuto pedal Damper pedal Damper pedal The notes will be sustained while you hold down this pedal, and the sound will have a richer resonance. The degree to which you press this pedal will change the amount of the damper effect (i. e. , half-pedaling is supported). 17 Sostenuto pedal The damper effect will be applied only to the notes that were already being held down when you pressed this pedal, and those notes will be sustained while you continue holding down the pedal. The damper effect will not be applied to notes that were played after you pressed this pedal. Soft pedal While you hold down this pedal, the sound will be softer and more mellow. The degree to which you press this pedal will change the amount of the soft pedal effect (i. e. , half-pedaling is supported). Pedal settings in Layer mode If desired, you can make the damper pedal apply only to one of the two sounds in Layer mode. This setting will be reset when you turn off the power. You can use the Data Dump function to save the settings on an external MIDI data filer (“MIDI data dump” on page 29). While holding down the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button, press the damper pedal. Each time you press the pedal, the indicator above the sound select buttons you’ve selected for layering will light alternately or together. When the indicator above the sound select button for the sound that you want to use the pedal effect is lit, release the TRANSPOSE/FUNCTION button. Metronome You can adjust the tempo and time signature of the metronome, and select an accent.
