Explanation
Lets you change the way that
the sound responds when you
play the keyboard softly. For
example, this can be adjusted
suitably for solo performance,
or to prevent your sound from
being buried in the rest of the
band.
Increasing this value will
allow fairly loud sounds to
be produced even when you
play with a light touch, so that
your performance will not be
obscured by the playing of
your band.
Changing this value does not
affect the way in which the
sound responds to velocity.

Explanation
Adjusts an effect that's suitable
for each sound, such as timbre
or acoustic image.
Here you can adjust the
loudness of the hammer strike
on an electric piano's sound-
producing mechanism, such as
the tine or reed.
Higher settings produce a
louder hammer strike.
* Depending on the tone
that's selected, this might
have no effect.

Explanation
Adjusts the key-off sound
of the electric piano (the
operating sound of the key
and hammer when the key is
released).
Higher settings produce a
louder key-off sound.
* Depending on the tone
that's selected, this might
have no effect.
Adjusts the damper noise (the
noise heard when you press
the damper pedal to release
the tone bars).
Increasing this value will make
the damper noise louder.
* Depending on the tone
that's selected, this might
have no effect.
Adjusts resonances such as the
key-off sound (the faint sound
heard when you release a key).
Higher values produce a
louder key-off sound.
At a setting of 0 there will be
no key-off sound at all.
* Depending on the tone
that's selected, this might
have no effect.
Adjusts the amount of hum
and other noise that leaks into
the pickups.
Electric pianos were
susceptible to various types
of noise, and this noise
would sometimes be output
along with the sounds of the
performance. Depending on
the effect settings, such noises
can produce an authentic,
lively atmosphere.
Lowering this value makes
the sound clearer; raising this
value makes the sound dirtier.
At a setting of 0 there will be
no hum at all.
* Depending on the tone
that's selected, this might
have no effect.
