(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.
The Voicing setting recreates various hammer properties, allowing the overall tonal character of the hybrid piano to be adjusted. There
are six different preset voicing settings available (applied uniformly to all keys).
While the default "Normal" voicing setting should be appropriate for a broad range of musical genres, it may be desirable to select a
softer, more mellow tonal character for romantic pieces, or a brighter, more aggressive tone for modern styles.
