About the Pedals
The pedals have the following functions, and are used
mainly for piano performance.
Soft Pedal
Sostenuto Pedal
Damper pedal (right pedal)
While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even
after you take your fingers off the keys.
The length of sustain will change subtly depending on
how deeply you press the pedal.
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, add-
ing a rich resonance. The HP107e simulates this sympa-
thetic resonance.
You can change the amount of resonance applied with
the damper pedal (p. 15).
Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)
This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were
already played when you pressed the pedal.
You can switch the function of the sostenuto pedal ( p.
21).
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.
About the adjuster
Be sure to use the adjusters underneath the pedals when-
ever the instrument is moved or when the pedals appear
to be unstable.
❍ Rotate the adjuster to lower it so that it is in firm contact
with the floor. If there is a gap between the pedals and
the floor, the pedals may be damaged. In particular when
placing the instrument on carpet, adjust this so that the
pedals firmly contact the floor.
