If you touch < Reset >, all settings (parameters) shown in the

current screen will return to their factory-set values.

You can change the volume of the damper pedal resonance.

On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes

the notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich

reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper pedal

on the RK-300 recreates this resonance (Damper Resonance)

when depressed.

This setting applies only for the front panel [PIANO] button

and for the piano tones Superior Grand and Natural Grand. It

is not available for other tones.

You can adjust the damper noise of the acoustic piano sound

(the sound of the damper releasing the strings when you

press the damper pedal).

This setting applies only for the front panel [PIANO] button

and for the piano tones Superior Grand and Natural Grand. It

is not available for other tones.

This setting is ignored when Damper Resonance is set to

“Off.”

Duplex Scale

” refers to a system that causes sympathetic

vibrations in the sections of the string toward the front and

toward the back.

It can produce sound that is richer and brighter by adding the

string’s higher harmonics.

Because no damper (sound-stopping mechanism) is applied

to the front or back sections of the string, the resonating

sounds linger even after the sound of the string stops when

you release the played key.

This setting applies only for the front panel [PIANO] button

and for the piano tones Superior Grand and Natural Grand. It

is not available for other tones.
