Key-off Effect

When playing an acoustic piano – particularly in the bass region of the keyboard – if a key is played with force and

released quickly, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of the damper touching the strings immediately before

the vibrations are stopped.

In addition, the speed at which keys are lifted will also affect the character of the sound. For example, when lifting

the keys quickly (e.g. staccato playing) the ‘release’ portion of the sound will be noticeably shorter than when

lifting the keys slowly (e.g. legato playing).

The CN35 digital piano reproduces both characteristics, with the Key-off Effect setting allowing the volume of the

key-off sound to be adjusted, and the key-off release speed detection to be turned on or off.

* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds, Classic E.P., 60’s E.P., Classic E.P. 2 and Classic E.P. 3 sound.

1. Selecting the Key-off Effect setting

After entering the Virtual Technician menu (page 89):

Press the

d or c MENU buttons to select the Key-off Effect

setting.

2. Adjusting the Key-off Effect volume

Press the

d or c VALUE buttons to adjust the volume of the

Key-off Effect setting.

* The Key-off Effect volume can be adjusted within the range of Off,

1 - 10, with higher values resulting in a louder effect.

* When the Key-off Effect setting is set to Off, the key-off release speed

detection will also be disabled, and the speed at which keys are lifted

will not affect the character of the sound.

* Any changes made to the Key-off Effect setting will remain until the

power is turned off.

* Preferred Key-off Effect settings can be stored to a Registration

memory for convenient recall. Please refer to page 34 for more

information.

3. Exiting the Key-off Effect setting

Press the

d and c MENU buttons simultaneously to exit the

Key-off Effect setting and return to the main settings menu.
