ABSTRACT:
Pedal control circuits for use with an electronic musical instrument, such as a piano, which provide control functions analogous to the actions of a sustaining pedal, of a sostenuto pedal, and of a volume pedal of a conventional piano. Damper circuits operable in conjunction with a sustaining pedal provide an effect analogous to the action of the sustaining pedal in a conventional piano, a latching circuit actuated by depression of a sostenuto pedal operates in conjunction with the damper circuits in a manner analogous to the action of a sostenuto pedal in a conventional piano, and a volume pedal and associated circuitry is operative to determine the level of the output tones only at the moment of strike of the keys, an action analogous to that of the volume pedal in a conventional piano.
