Chapter 2. Performance

Making Fine Adjustments to the Piano

Sound (Piano Customize) (HP-7)

You can make fine adjustments to the sound of the piano as desired.

[Hammer] Button

This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing at which the note

sounds. This is called the “Hammer Response” function.

On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which strikes a string to

produce sound. If you press the key softly, the hammer will move slowly, meaning

that it will take slightly longer (in comparison to a strongly-played note) from the

moment you press the key until the sound is produced.

If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time between the moment you

press a key until the sound is heard will change depending on the strength with

which you play. As you play more softly, this time will become longer.

[Lid] Button

This simulates the change in tone that occurs when the lid of a grand piano is opened

or closed.

The lid can be adjusted over three positions. Opening the lid makes the tone brighter,

and closing it makes the tone more mellow.
