Selecting Your Preferred Performance Environment (My Stage)
“My Stage” is a function that lets you select your preferred piano and
performance environment while at home. This function reproduces the
sound and resonance that you would experience when playing in locations
such as a concert hall, church, or rehearsal studio on a grand piano that’s
ideally matched for that location.
* The My Stage settings consist of the combination of “grand piano tone,”
“ambience (acoustics) type,” and “ambience (acoustics) depth.”
