the pedals on an acoustic piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper
pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal
immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
When you select the G. PIANO 1 or G. PIANO 1 VARIA-
TION voice on the F11/F01, pressing the damper pedal
activates the instrument’s special “Sustain Samples” to
accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic
grand piano’s soundboard and strings.

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