With the center/left pedals, you can add articulation effects and characteristic 
instrument performance sounds to your playing. When you select a SA or SA2 
Voice, the function of center and left pedals are switched to control articulation 
effects. 

Three examples of effects are introduced to the following. The applied articulation 
effect differs depending on the selected Voice. For details, refer to the Information 
display called up by pressing the [7 

▲] (INFO) button on the Voice Selection 

display. 

■ Pressing a pedal triggers different playing effects, separate from your keyboard 

playing. For example, pressing a pedal for a saxophone Voice can produce breath 
noises or key noises, while doing the same for a guitar Voice can produce fret 
noises or body-tapping sounds. You can effectively intersperse these into the notes 
as you play.

■ Playing the keyboard while pressing a pedal changes the nature of Voice. For 

example, in the case of the nylon guitar Voice, pressing the corresponding pedal 
lets you play harmonics for the guitar Voice. Releasing the pedal returns the Voice 
to normal. 

■ When an SA2 Voice is selected (CVP-509), pressing a pedal and playing/releasing 

a note enables you to add articulation effects, such as bend up/down, glissando 
up/down, brass fall, etc. 

SA2 Voices are available only on the 
CVP-509. SA Voices are available 
only on the CVP-509/505.

Pedal functions are automatically 
changed depending on the selected 
Voice. However, if you need to, you 
can lock the pedal function so that it 
does not change automatically.

→ [H] DEPEND ON R1 VOICE. 

Keeping with the realistic response of 
the original instruments, the effects 
applied vary depending on the range 
you are playing in.

When you select SA/SA2 Voices for 
two or more keyboard parts, pressing 
a pedal simultaneously affects all 
parts on which SA/SA2 Voices are 
selected.
