Damper Resonance
Depressing the sustain pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely.
When a note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will the strings of
the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.
The CA17 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the volume
of this resonance to be changed.
* This setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.
 Changing the Damper Resonance value (Please refer to page 12 - 13 Operation Guide SOUND.)
Press and hold the SOUND SELECT button, then press the “Damper Resonance” key, and finally press the key assigned to the
desired value.
The Damper Resonance value is changed within the range of Off, 1 - 3, with higher values resulting in a louder effect.
