SUSTAIN PEDAL Jack
This jack is for connecting a sustain pedal to the P-120/P-120S.
The pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acous-
tic piano. Connect the supplied pedal to this jack and press the pedal
to sustain the sound. The further down the pedal is pressed, the
longer the sound will be sustained (can be used like a half pedal
effect).

When the GRAND PIANO 1 and 2 voices are selected, pressing
the damper pedal activates the instrument’s special “Sustain Sam-

• Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the
pedal.
• The depth of the effect produced by the “Sustain Samples” can be
adjusted via the “Pedal Functions” (page 35) in the function mode.
• Depending upon the pedal that is connected to the SUSTAIN PEDAL jack,
the effect produced by operating the pedal (ON/OFF, dynamics, etc.)
might be reversed. If this is the case, refer to the “SUSTAIN PEDAL Type”
section (page 36).

MIDI IN, and OUT Connectors
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external
MIDI device (such as a MIDI sequencer) which can be used to con-
trol the P-120/P-120S. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI
data generated by the P-120/P-120S (e.g. note and velocity data pro-
duced by playing the P-120/P-120S keyboard).
