Adding a Sense of Depth to
the Sound (Grand Space)
The HP103e/102e includes a “Grand Space” function that
allows you to get sounds that have a sense of depth like
you get by playing an acoustic grand piano. Using this
function gives you the natural-sounding reverberation
and depth of sound that an acoustic grand piano provides.
1. Press the [Grand Space] button, getting its indica-
tor to light.
The Grand Space function is switched on, giving the
sound a greater sense of depth.
To cancel the Grand Space function, press the [Grand
Space] button once more so its illumination is turned off.

2. Hold down the [Grand Space] button, and press
the [-] or [+] button.
You can adjust the sense of depth to any of four levels. A
greater sense of depth is produced as the value is
increased.
