Connecting the Pedals
Battery duration
New or fully charged batteries should last about 4 hours (for 2450mAh Ni-
MH batteries) during continuous operation.
NOTE
Actual battery life varies according to usage conditions, the
quality of the batteries and the number of charging cycles.
NOTE
Certain batteries can be recharged several times before they
need to be replaced with new ones. Note that it is normal for the
batteries to last increasingly shorter as time goes by. At the end
of their life cycle, they may only last one hour, for example. But
that is a gradual process.

Expression Pedal
DX CP1/SP1 (switch)
DX CP1/SP1 (damper)
1. Connect to the DAMPER (HOLD) socket a sustain pedal.
This is the most commonly used pedal in a digital piano. When
pressed, all notes played will continue to sound until the vibration
naturally ceases.
A MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW
To have a complete simulation of damped strings of an acoustic
piano appreciating all the musical nuances, we suggest to

controller instead of an on/o pedal.
NOTE

continuous or foot-switch (ON/OFF type).
2. Connect to the PEDAL ASSIGN 1 socket a foot-switch.
This pedal is useful to control many functions by foot. You can
assign one of the available functions. See "PEDAL ASSIGN 1" (p.
43).
NOTE
The PEDAL ASSIGN 1 socket accepts only foot-switch (ON/OFF
type).
3. Connect to the PEDAL ASSIGN 2 socket an Expression
pedal.
This pedal is useful to control dierent aspects of the sound,
commonly volume. It's used for organs, strings sounds, etc.
Automatic recognition of a EXPRESSION pedal
The PEDAL ASSIGN 2 socket automatically recognize any
expression pedal connected setting the Expression function,
regardless of the current function assigned.
You can assign one of the available functions. See "PEDAL ASSIGN
2" (p. 44).
NOTE
The PEDAL ASSIGN 2 socket accepts both types of pedals,
continuous or foot-switch (ON/OFF type). If you connect a
continuous pedal, it's automatically recognized as Expression
pedal.

NOTE
If you want to use only one channel on your external amplier,
connect the L/MONO socket to its input. For optimum sound
quality, we recommend working in stereo, though.
1. Rotate the [VOLUME] the knob toward the left position to
minimize the volume.
2. Connect the VIVO S1’s OUTPUT jacks to the inputs of your
external audio device.
