Kurzweil M210 SR [23/32] Pedals

This piano has three foot pedals : damper(sustain) pedal (right), sostenuto pedal (center)

and soft pedal (left) that produce a range of expressive effects like those produced by

the pedals of an acoustic piano.

Soft

Sostenuto

Sustain

1) Sustain pedal

2) Sostenuto pedal

3) Soft pedal

The sustain pedal functions in the same way as a damper

pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is

pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal immed-

iately stops any sustained notes.

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the

sostenuto pedal while the notes are held, those notes will

sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the 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 that are already playing

when it is pressed.

When you press the sustain

pedal here, the notes you

play before you release the

pedal sustain loger.
