Adjusting the Timing of Mute During Key Release (Key Off Response)

On a grand piano, when you release a key, the damper comes down on the strings and the sound stops. The Key Off Response function digitally simulates the timing of when a note stops sounding based on movement during key release. This function allows the next note to be sounded without having to fully return to the key when hitting the same note in succession, as on a grand piano, and enables detailed touch expression, such as the way notes are connected and cut off, allowing the player to perform with a natural feel. Adjusts the timing from when the key is released until the sound mutes.
