Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an extended time even if you
release your ngers from the keyboard.
On an acoustic piano, when you step on the damper pedal, you’ll rst hear the sound of the dampers releasing the strings. Then,
you should also be able to hear the sound of strings adjacent to the ones for the notes actually played resonate sympathetically,
resulting in a rich, resounding tone. Additionally, when using half-pedaling techniques, the core of the sound disappears rapidly
while a rich, spacious resonance remains, producing a unique form of reverberation. On the unit, the unique, lingering tones
produced by the half-pedaling technique are reproduced in addition to released-string sounds (Damper Noise) and resonating
sounds (Damper Resonance).
Sostenuto Pedal
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be sustained.
Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent
strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic piano.
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal.
Pedals
Headphone Hook
Whenever you are not using the headphones, you can hang them
on the headphone hook.
* Don’t hang anything other than headphones on this hook, and don’t apply
excessive force to it.
Doing so may damage the headphone hook.

Ground Terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a
particular setup, you may experience a
discomforting sensation, or perceive that
the surface feels gritty to the touch when
you touch this device. This is due to an
innitesimal electrical charge, which is
absolutely harmless. However, if you are
concerned about this, connect the ground
terminal (see gure) with an external
ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending
on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection
method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized
Roland distributor.
Unsuitable places for connection
• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in re or explosion)
• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event
of lightning)
