More about tones

Polyphony

This piano can play up to 64 notes at the same time.
Also note that some of the tones offer only 32-note polyphony
(GRAND PIANO, MELLOW PIANO, ELEC PIANO 1,
HARPSICHORD, STRINGS).

Touch Response

The touch response feature of this piano causes the volume
of the tones and the sound of the tones themselves to change
slightly in accordance with how much pressure you apply to
the keyboard, just like with an acoustic piano. Touch response
affects the HARPSICHORD tone only slightly, because the
original musical instrument normally produces the same
sound, no matter how much pressure is applied.

Digitally Sampled Tones

The tones of this piano are produced using digitally recorded
samples of actual musical instruments. Not all of the
instruments, however, can produce tones across the entire
range played by this piano (A0 through C8). In such a case,
digital recordings are used for the range that actually can be
produced by the original instrument, and synthesized tones
are used for notes that cannot be produced naturally. Because
of this, you may notice very slight differences between natural
notes and synthesized notes in sound quality and in results
produced when using effects. These differences are normal
and do not indicate malfunction.
