Adjusting the Sound Characteristics of the Acoustic Piano Presets (Acoustic Simulator)

The piano tones of this Digital Piano have built-in elements that characterize the sound of an acoustic piano. Each of the tone characteristics can be adjusted.

Setting String Resonance

When playing acoustic piano, the strings, which are the overtones of the keys you play, resonate. Adjust the resonance by setting [String Resonance].

Setting [String Resonance] to <Tone> or <Off>

While holding down the “SOUND MODE” button, press the C{3 or D3 key.

Selecting a Setting Value Directly (operation type A)

E4	Increases the strength of the Open String Resonance by 1 (+)

Setting the Aliquot Resonance

An aliquot is a resonator that is sometimes used in acoustic pianos. It uses the resonance of additional strings in the middle and upper registers. It is sometimes referred to as the Duplex Scale. Adjust its resonance by setting [Aliquot Resonance].

Setting [Aliquot Resonance] to <Tone> or <Off>

While holding down the “SOUND MODE” button, press the F4 or F{4 key.

Setting Lid Simulator

The sound of a grand piano changes depending on how open the lid is.

(The Lid Simulator is unrelated to the top panel opening/closing mechanism of the housing.)

While holding down the “SOUND MODE” button, press any one of the A5 to C{6 keys.
