Use this pedal to sustain the sound. 

While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an 

extended time even if you release your fingers from the keyboard.

The length of the sustain will change subtly depending on how 

deeply you press the pedal.

On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will cause 

the strings for notes other than the ones you actually play to vibrate 

in sympathy with what you’ve played, producing a rich resonance. 

The RP201 simulates this sympathetic vibration (damper 

resonance).

 

You can modify the sound of the sympathetic vibration. 

 

This pedal sustains only the notes of the keys that were already 

pressed when you pressed the pedal.

 

This pedal is used to make the sound softer.

Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not 

as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength.

The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which 

you press the pedal.

 

You can switch the function of the sostenuto pedal and the 

 

If you disconnect the pedal cable from the RP201 while the 

power is turned on, the pedal effect will remain applied. You 

must connect or disconnect the pedal cable while the RP201’s 

power is switched off.

 

Lower the adjuster at the bottom of the pedal board (by 

rotating it), so that the adjuster touches the floor. If you have 

the piano placed on a carpet, lower it until it pushes into the 

carpet.
