  • Page 54: Virtual Technician

    Virtual Technician Virtual Technician An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a fine acoustic piano. In addition to meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments that allow the instrument to truly sing. The Virtual Technician settings of the digital piano simulate these refinements digitally, allowing performers to shape various aspects of the instrument’s character to suit their personal preferences.
  • Page 55: Touch Curve

    The default “Normal” setting is designed to accurately recreate the touch of a Kawai concert grand piano. However, if the keyboard feels too light, or fortissimo playing is achieved too easily, it may be desirable to select a heavier touch curve. Alternatively, if the keyboard feels too heavy, or fortissimo playing is too difficult to achieve, it may be desirable to select a lighter touch curve.
  • Page 56: Voicing

    Virtual Technician Virtual Technician (2) Voicing On an acoustic piano, the shape, density, and texture of the hammers all influence on the tonal character of the instrument’s sound. Technicians utilise a variety of tools such as needles, files, and brushes to manipulate these hammer felts, with the ultimate goal of achieving a balanced tonal character across the keyboard.
  • Page 57: Damper Resonance

    Drag (4) Damper Resonance Pressing the damper pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal pressed, not only will the strings of the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.
  • Page 58: Undamped String Resonance

    Virtual Technician Virtual Technician  Demonstrating String Resonance To experience the string resonance phenomenon, gently hold down the “C” key as shown in the illustration below, then play (strike and release quickly) any of the keys marked with a  symbol. In addition to the sound of each note played, it should also be possible to hear the strings of the first “C”...
  • Page 59: Cabinet Resonance

    Drag (8) Cabinet Resonance While the fundamental sound of an acoustic piano is produced by vibrating strings, transmitting energy through a spruce soundboard, the cabinet of the instrument itself also contributes a variety of subtle tonal characteristics that enrich the playing and listening experience.
  • Page 60: Hammer Noise

    Virtual Technician Virtual Technician Drag (11) Hammer Noise When playing an acoustic piano, it is also possible to hear the physical sound of the hammers striking the strings, along with the sound of the keys making contacting with the piano keybed. The digital piano reproduces this sound, with the Hammer Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound to be adjusted.
  • Page 61: Decay Time

    Drag (14) Decay Time When playing an acoustic grand piano, the length of the instrument influences the speed at which held notes decay, with longer grand pianos (i.e. longer strings) characterised by longer decay times. The digital piano simulates this characteristic, with the Decay Time setting allowing the length of decay while keys are pressed to be adjusted.
  • Page 62: Temperament

    Virtual Technician Virtual Technician (18) Temperament The Temperament setting allows the tuning system used by the digital piano to be changed from the modern “Equal Temperament” standard to one of the various temperaments popularised during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

  • Page 63: Temperament Key

    (19) Temperament Key The Temperament Key setting allows the key of the selected temperament to be specified. When using a temperament other than Equal temperament, use this setting to specify the key signature of the piece. If Equal Temperament is selected, setting the Temperament Key will have no effect. (20) Key Volume The Key Volume setting allows the volume of different regions of the keyboard to be subtly reduced.
  • Page 64: Soft Pedal Depth

    Virtual Technician Drag (22) Soft Pedal Depth The Soft Pedal Depth setting adjusts the extent to which the soft (left) pedal of the digital piano softens the sound of played notes. While the default value is intended to replicate the effectiveness of a concert grand Una Corda pedal, it may be desirable for players to increase or decrease the value of this setting to suit their playing style.

  • Page 67: Spatial Headphone Sound

    (5) Spatial Headphone Sound Spatial Headphone Sound is a special feature of the digital piano that enhances the depth and realism of the acoustic piano sound when listening through headphones or earphones. The Spatial Headphone Sound setting allows the player to select from one of three different acoustic presets that adjust the spatial positioning of the sound, while also helping to reduce auditory fatigue when using earphones or headphones for extended periods of time.
