After selecting “F5.Y”, press the [+/YES

▲] button to engage the pedal functions sub mode, 

then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION# 

▼, ▲] buttons to select the desired pedal functions, as 

listed below.

F5.1: AUX PEDAL Mode ..........................................................................

This function conveniently lets you set operation of the AUX PEDAL to one of the modes 

listed below. Use the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons to select the desired AUX PEDAL 

mode. Press the [–/NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting 

of “1”.

F5.2: Sustain Sample Depth ...................................................................

The GRAND PIANO 1 and 2 voices feature special “Sustain Samples” that recreate the 

unique resonance produced by an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when its 
damper pedal is pressed. The effect is can be controlled with the P-120/P-120S’s sustain pedal 
or the AUX PEDAL to which the sustain function has been assigned. This function lets you 
adjust the depth of this effect. The effect depth range is from 0 through 20. A setting of “0” 
produces no effect, while a setting of “20” produces maximum effect depth. Press the [–/
NO

▼] and [+/YES▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting of “12”.

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly 
changes the timbre of notes played while the 
pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect 
notes which are already playing when it is 
pressed.

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and 
press the pedal while the note(s) are held, 
those notes will be sustained for as long as the 
pedal is held (as if the sustain pedal had been 
pressed) but all notes played thereafter will not 
be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain 
a chord, for example, while other notes are 
played “staccato.”

This mode allows control of dynamics during 
performance.

The sustain pedal functions in the same way 
as the damper pedal on an acoustic piano. In 
this case the AUX PEDAL operates as an ON/
OFF switch so when the pedal is pressed, 
notes played have a long sustain. Releasing 
the pedal immediately stops (dampens) any 
sustained notes.

The sustain pedal functions in the same basic 
way as the damper pedal on an acoustic piano 
however, in this case the pedal operates as 
continuous controller so the further down the 
pedal is pressed, the longer notes will sustain 
(can be used like a half pedal effect).

This mode allows switching of the Voice’s vari-
ation on or off. In this mode, the AUX PEDAL 
functions in the same manner as the [VARIA-
TION] button on the panel.

This mode allows starting/stopping of song 
playback. In this mode, the AUX PEDAL func-
tions in the same manner as the SONG 
[START/STOP] button on the panel.
