6.2.4 String Resonance (Int Piano only)
The volume of string resonance can be changed to the level you prefer. The
value changes from 0 (off) to 10.
In acoustic pianos, there are strings corresponding to each key. When a key
is pressed, strings of other keys in the related harmonic series to the note
played resonate. This effect is called "sound resonance", which makes the
sound of an acoustic piano full and rich.
* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
6.2.5 Key-off Effect (Int Piano only)
Especially for low-pitched tones, when a key is played strongly and released
quickly, there will be the sound of the damper touching the strings immediately
before the sound stops. The key-off effect simulates this phenomenon, and
allows you to adjust the key-off volume to your taste. The value changes from
0 (off) to 10.
* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
6.2.6 Voicing (Int Piano only)
This parameter re-creates electronically the voicing technique of adjusting the
action, hammers and strings on an acoustic piano to change the tone character.
This function is a very powerful way to enhance and customize the piano
response for each player and each sound.
The effect is only available for the internal piano sounds. Other sounds cannot
use this parameter.
Normal: Produces the normal tone of an acoustic piano throughout the
entire dynamic range.
Mellow: Reproduces the effect of a softer hammer surface. It produces a
mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic range.
Dynamic: This setting is not possible with an acoustic piano. Softly played
notes will have the tone of a mellow voicing and notes played
harder will have the tone of a bright voicing. This setting produces
a dramatic change from mellow to bright throughout the entire
dynamic range.
Bright: Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.
* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
6.2.7 TX Ch (Ext only)
This parameter sets the MIDI transmit channel for the selected zone. All MIDI
data for the selected zone will be transmitted on this channel. Make sure that
the receiving channel for any external MIDI devices to be controlled from this
zone is set to the same channel as the zone.
