. Damper Resonance
When the damper pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all dampers are lifted up, allowing the strings to
vibrate freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the damper pedal depressed, not only will
the strings of the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.
The Damper Resonance function of the AnyTimeX2 piano attempts to simulate this phenomenon.
