INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Main features
Wide range of sounds. Thirty different and expressive high-quality sounds,
including a Stereo Concert Grand Piano. You can use the Layer function to simulta-
neously play two sounds.
Effects. The C-320 provides built-in digital effects that can simulate the natural
ambience of a concert hall (Reverb) and add richness to the sound (Chorus).
Pedal effects. The C-320 provides the same three pedals as a grand piano, control-
ling the soft, sostenuto, and damper functions respectively. The damper pedal simu-
lates the natural string resonances of an acoustic piano. Both the damper pedal and
the soft pedal let you vary the amount of the effect by how far you press down on
the pedal (“half-pedal” function).
Metronome. The built-in metronome allows you to select the time signature,
tempo, and volume, and even use a bell sound as the accent.
Touch control. You can choose from three different settings to adjust how the
sound will respond to your keyboard playing dynamics.
Temperaments. In addition to the Equal temperament, the C-320 allows you to
select two alternative classical temperaments (Kirnberger and Werckmeister) for
historically accurate performance of classical music. When selecting an acoustic
piano sound, the typical Stretched Tuning is automatically selected.
Adjustable pitch. The Transpose function lets you change the pitch of the piano,
and the Pitch Control function allows you to make fine tune adjustments.
MIDI capabilities. The C-320 supports the MIDI protocol, the standard that allows
music data to be transferred between musical instruments and computers. MIDI
