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 ES920 digital piano attempts to simulate this characteristic, with the Decay Time setting allowing the length of
decay while keys are pressed to be adjusted.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect all sounds.
 Adjusting the Decay Time volume
After entering the Virtual Technician menu (page 87):
Press the or MENU buttons to select the Decay Time setting.
Press the or VALUE buttons to adjust the volume of the
Decay Time setting.
* The Decay Time volume can be adjusted within the range of 1~10, with
larger values resulting in increased decay times.
* The Decay Time setting can be set independently for each sound.
Press the EXIT button to exit the Decay Time setting and return
to the main settings menu.

Release Time

When playing an acoustic grand piano, the length of the instrument also influences the speed at which played (and
released) notes decay, with longer grand pianos (i.e. longer strings) characterised by longer release times.
The digital piano simulates this characteristic, with the Release Time setting allowing the length of decay after keys
are released to be adjusted.
 Adjusting the Release Time volume
After entering the Virtual Technician menu (page 87):
Press the or MENU buttons to select the Release Time
setting.
