Yamaha P515’s FC4A other alternatives than FC3A & LP1B pedal set
on: July 12, 2021, 11:03:04 PM
Hi fellow musicians,
I am new here. I have the P515 for quiet practice and my repertoire consist of 90% classical music. Also, I use pianoteq as my main output sound (VST), because I find it superior to the internal CFX one.
My question: I do not need the optional 3 pedals set and the wooden frame, would it be a possibility for me to buy a separate universal pedal to take advantage of half pedaling?
PS: In Canada the FC3A is way overpriced and not easily available.
For exemple:

Also, would there be a way for me to use the FC4A pedal as an interchangeable (una corda, sostenuto) pedal by using an adapter and going through the aux of the P515?
Thanks, I really appreciate your help guys 🙏

I believe in the manual for the P515 (which you can find online) it states that half-pedaling only works with the optional 3 pedal attachment. The single floor pedal does not support half pedaling. And it gets plugged into an entirely different jack than the optional 3 pedal attachment.
