Cabinet Resonance
While the fundamental sound of an acoustic piano is produced by vibrating strings, transmitting energy through
a spruce soundboard, the cabinet of the instrument itself also contributes a variety of subtle tonal characteristics
that enrich the playing and listening experience. The keybed, inner and outer rim, iron plate, and beams all play a
role in disseminating sound energy, which in turn gives the piano a living, breathing quality.
The CA97/CA67 digital piano recreates these natural acoustic characteristics, with the Cabinet Resonance setting
allowing the volume of this resonance sound to be adjusted.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.
1. Selecting the Cabinet Resonance setting
After entering the Virtual Technician menu (page 80):
Press the d or c buttons to select the Cabinet Resonance
setting.
2. Adjusting the Cabinet Resonance volume
Press the e or f buttons to increase or decrease the volume of
the Cabinet Resonance setting.
* The Cabinet Resonance volume can be adjusted within the range of
1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced resonance.
* To reset the Cabinet Resonance setting to the default value, press the
e and f buttons simultaneously.
* Any changes made to the Cabinet Resonance setting will remain until
the power is turned off.
* Preferred Cabinet Resonance settings can be stored to the sound’s
memory, or a Registration memory for convenient recall. Please refer
to pages 81 and 33 for more information.
3. Exiting the Cabinet Resonance setting
Press the FUNCTION button (BACK) to exit the Cabinet
Resonance setting and return to the Function Menus screen.
