Playing The Realistic Resonance-Enhanced Vrm Voices - Yamaha CLAVINOVA CVP-701 Owner's Manual

Playing the Realistic Resonance-enhanced VRM Voices

On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does the string of the
pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, with each influencing the
rest, creating a rich and brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM (Virtual Resonance
Modeling) technology featured in the instrument reproduces the complicated interaction of both string
and soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual musical instrument (physical modeling), and makes
the sound more like a real acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the moment according
to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound expressively by changing the timing of your
pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal. When you select a Piano Voice
compatible with VRM (referred to as VRM Voices), the VRM function is automatically engaged, letting you
immediately enjoy the VRM effect.
