The Clavinova has three foot pedals: damper pedal (right), sostenuto pedal 
(center), and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive effects similar to 
those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano.

When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play 
have a longer sustain.
When you select Grand Piano 1, 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. The 
damper pedal also features a naturally expressive half-
pedal function.

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press 
the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the 
notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All 
subsequent notes will not sustain.

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 that are already playing when it 
is pressed. Press the pedal immediately before you play the target notes.)

With the Vibraphone, Jazz Organ and Mellow Organ voices, this pedal turns vibrato on 
and off or toggles the speed of vibrato. (See page 98.)

If the damper pedal doesn’t work, 
or notes are sustained even when 
the pedal is not pressed, make 
sure that the pedal cord is properly 
plugged into the [PEDAL] jack on 
the unit (see step 6 on page 119). 
Also, make sure that the 
RPedalFunc parameter in the 
“FUNCTION” menu is set to ON 
(see page 96).

While playing the piano with 
Sustain and you want to slightly 
mute the sustained sound, release 
the damper pedal from maximum 
position to half position.

The threshold at which the Half 
Pedal effect starts can be set from 
the Half Pedal Point parameter in 
the Function menu (page 98).

You can adjust the depth of the 
resonance produced by the 
“Sustain Samples” using the 
Sustain Sampling Depth parameter 
in the “FUNCTION” menu. (See 
page 99.)

You can assign a function to each 
pedal via the “RPedalFunc”, 
“CPedalFunc”, and “LPedalFunc” 
parameters in the “FUNCTION” 
menu. (See page 96.)

The center and left pedals can also 
be assigned to song start/stop 
operation (PLAY/PAUSE function) 
via the “PedalPlay/Pause” 
parameter in the “FUNCTION” 
menu (on page 98).

When you press the damper pedal 
here, the notes you play before you 
release the pedal have a longer 
sustain.

When you press the sostenuto 
pedal here while holding the note(s), 
the notes will sustain as long as you 
hold the pedal.
