Samick DCP-12 Manual - Piano Pedals

SUSTAIN

Piano Pedals

Just like a regular grand piano, your DCP-12 feature 3 foot pedals:

Damper Pedal (Right)

The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper pedal on an actual 

acou stic piano, letting you sustain the sound of the voices even after releasing your 

fingers from the keys.

SOSTENUTO

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

The sostenuto pedal also allows you to sustain notes, but it works a little 

different f rom the damper pedal. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and 

press the sostenuto pedal while the notes are held, those notes will be sustained 

as long as the pedal is held. All subsequently played notes will not be sustained.

SOFT

Soft Pedal (Left)

The soft pedal on an acoustic piano changes the character of the sound, making 

it softer and quieter. The soft pedal on your DCP-12 does exactly the  same.  Pres s 

the soft pedal when you need to play passages that require extreme pianissimo.
