Performing

When you play the keys on an acoustic piano, the strings that

are already playing resonate as well. The function that

reproduces this effect is called “String Resonance.”

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 play the “key off” sound (the subtle sound produced

when the keys are released) obtained when playing an

acoustic piano.

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.

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

current screen will return to their factory-set values.

In situations such as when playing ensemble with other

instruments, you can tune the RK-300’s standard pitch to the

pitch of another instrument.

The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note

that’s played when you finger the middle A key.

This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called

“tuning.”

This setting applies to all tones.

If you continue touching the master tuning

, the

value will change continuously.
