KORG Half Damper Pedal DS-1H, Black (DS1H)

Make your digital piano feel and respond more like an acoustic piano. The KORG DS-1H is a piano-style metal damper (sustain) pedal. It has the right amount of weight to feel stable underfoot, and on KORG instruments that support it, half-damper control lets you hold notes partly, just like on a real piano.

Why customers choose it

• Piano-like feel: a metal pedal shaped like an acoustic piano pedal, not a small plastic footswitch.
• Stable: its weight keeps it from sliding while you play.
• Half-pedalling: on compatible KORG pianos and arrangers (for example the D1 and Pa1000 list half-pedalling with the optional DS-1H), you get gradual sustain control.
• Plug and play: the cable is attached, so there is nothing to lose.

Who it is for

Piano students and players using KORG digital pianos and arranger keyboards, teachers, and anyone upgrading from a basic footswitch.

Specifications

Good to know

• Half-damper only works on keyboards that support it – check your instrument’s manual.
• On keyboards from other brands it works as a normal on/off sustain pedal only if they accept a negative-polarity pedal.

FAQ

Will half-pedalling work on my non-KORG keyboard?

Half-damper control is for compatible KORG instruments; on others it can act as a regular sustain pedal if the polarity matches.
