JDamper (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 played have
a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any
sustained notes.
On
the CLP-880/860, when GRAND PIANO, CLASSICAL PI-
ANO,
or
JAZZ PIANO is selected the damper pedal also produces a
special "resonance" that simulates the ring
of
the strings and the sound
board
of
an acoustic piano.
The CLP-880/860 damper pedal additionally features continuous
damping. This allows you to create shorter effects by pressing the
damper pedal down only part
of
the way.

If
you
playa
note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto
pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will be sustained
as
long as
the pedal is held (as
ifthe
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."

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 which are already playing when
it
is pressed.
The left pedal can also be assigned to song start/stop operation (or
sostenuto in the case
of
the CLP-820S) via the "Left Pedal Mode"
described on page 32.
