Connecting footswitches

The ep 880 provides two pedal sockets: HOLD and SOFT/
HOLD 2. Here is how you can use these sockets:
DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS
FS-5U (optional)
–OR–
Supplied DP-8 damper pedal

Hold function

By connecting the supplied damper pedal to the HOLD
socket, you can hold (sustain) the notes you are playing on
the ep 880's keyboard.
1.
Set the ep 880's volume to the lowest value.
2.
Connect the supplied DP-8 damper pedal to the
HOLD socket.
3.
Play a few notes on the keyboard while pressing the
supplied DP-8 damper pedal.
The notes you play will be sustained much longer
than without using the pedal.
4.
Release the damper pedal to switch off the sustained
notes.
Using a second footswitch
The SOFT/HOLD 2 socket allows you to connect an
optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch. When not
in TWIN PIANO mode, this footswitch functions as soft
pedal to reduce the volume and brightness of the notes
you play.
In TWIN PIANO mode (p. 16), however, it acts as damper
pedal for the left section.
