On the screen you will see the options to turn the pedal off or on on certain parts. Turn EVERYTHING OFF - except your right hand melody - let the volume control take care of that.

So now when you play, you have NO control over the volume of the backing but the organ only. You can now add an extra level of depth by increasing the volume and decreasing the volume with your pedal. Great for ballads - all some real emotion.

Enjoy!

....however the best way is to listen to real music played by real people and see how the different instruments interact, then set up your expression pedal to do the same.

Both great posts.

Question guys. How do you both approach using the sustain pedal while using the Volume/Expression pedal?

PS....Leigh, with the Tyros4, I find it most beneficial to just lower the accompaniment volume to around 80, rather than adjust all the RH stuff.
