F5.2: Sustain Sample Depth
...................................................................
The GRAND PIANO 1 and 2 voices feature special “Sustain Samples” that recreate the
unique resonance produced by an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when its
damper pedal is pressed. The effect is can be controlled with the P-120/P-120S’s sustain pedal
or the AUX PEDAL to which the sustain function has been assigned. This function lets you
adjust the depth of this effect. The effect depth range is from 0 through 20. A setting of “0”
produces no effect, while a setting of “20” produces maximum effect depth. Press the
[–/

F5
: Pedal Functions ________________________________
1. Soft Pedal
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.
2. Sostenuto Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and
press the pedal while the note(s) are held,
those notes will be sustained for as long as the
pedal is held (as if the sustain pedal had been
pressed) but all notes played thereafter will not
be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain
a chord, for example, while other notes are
played “staccato.”
• Organ, string and choir voices will
continue to sound for as long as the
sostenuto pedal is depressed.
3. Expression
This mode allows control of dynamics during
performance.
4. Sustain Pedal (ON/OFF)
The sustain pedal functions in the same way
as the damper pedal on an acoustic piano. In
this case the AUX PEDAL operates as an ON/
OFF switch so when the pedal is pressed,
notes played have a long sustain. Releasing
the pedal immediately stops (dampens) any
sustained notes.
5. Sustain Pedal (Continuous)
The sustain pedal functions in the same basic
way as the damper pedal on an acoustic piano
however, in this case the pedal operates as
continuous controller so the further down the
pedal is pressed, the longer notes will sustain
(can be used like a half pedal effect).
6. Variation
This mode allows switching of the Voice’s vari-
ation on or off. In this mode, the AUX PEDAL
functions in the same manner as the [VARIA-
TION] button on the panel.
7. Song Start/Stop
This mode allows starting/stopping of song
playback. In this mode, the AUX PEDAL func-
tions in the same manner as the SONG
[START/STOP] button on the panel.
• We recommend that an optional foot
controller FC7 be used with mode 3
(Expression). In mode 5 (Sustain
Pedal [Continuous]), we recommend
that the supplied pedal be used. For
all other modes, we recommend
either the supplied pedal or the
optional FC4 foot switch be used.
