This sound was sampled from the Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. It uses different
samples depending on the strength of your playing and produces smoother tonal changes.
Even the tonal changes produced by the damper pedal and the subtle sounds of releasing
a key are reproduced. When using the Silent Piano™ function, the sympathetic vibration
(String Resonance) that occurs among the strings of an acoustic piano has also been
simulated. Suitable not only for classical compositions but also for piano pieces of any style.
