OICING

Voicing is a technique used by piano technicians to mold the character of

a piano’s sound. The Voicing function lets you change the CA piano’s

tone quality by choosing one of four types of voicings.

Bright

Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

Dynamic

The tone will change dramatically from mellow to bright with

your playing.

Mellow

Produces a mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic

range.

Normal

Produces the normal timbre of an acoustic piano throughout

the entire dynamic range. This is the preset value.

After selecting the “Voicing” function by pressing the MENU buttons,
use the VALUE buttons to select a desired voicing type.

The LCD display shows the type of voicing currently
selected.

The current voicing selection is global for all the preset tones. You can

not have an individual setting for each tone.

NOTE

While voicing is a technique used for optimizing the tone of an acoustic

piano, this function can be used on all the sounds on the CA piano.

ESONANCE

When the sustain pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all the dampers

are lifted up allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When you play a note

or chord on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed not only will the

strings for the notes you played vibrate but other strings will vibrate in

sympathetic resonance. The Sympathetic Resonance function simulates

this phenomenon. You can select from three levels of resonance.

Off

no resonance.

Normal

simulates the natural resonance characteristics of an acoustic

piano.

Deep

Produces a more intense resonance.

After selecting the “Sympathetic Resonance” function by pressing
the MENU buttons, use the VALUE buttons to select the desired
setting.
