This instrument attempts to reproduce the rich variety of tones created by
an acoustic grand piano as accurately as possible. This includes various
resonances, noises, and other subtle characteristics that contribute to the
overall piano playing experience.
While these additional tones are intended to enhance the realism of this
instrument, it is possible to reduce their prominence, or disable the effects
altogether using the settings in the Virtual Technician menu.
The noise occurs when the damper pedal is depressed and released.
 Damper Noise
The noise occurs after a key is released.
 Fall-back Noise, Key-off Effect
The sound has a metallic characteristic.
 Key-off Effect, Undamped Resonance, String Resonance
The sound is muffled or too bright.
 Topboard, Voicing
A particular key's level/volume is higher than other keys.
 User Key Volume
A particular key's pitch is heard as incorrect.
 Temperament, User Temperament, User Stretch Tuning
This is the correct behaviour, and intended to reproduce the undamped
notes (typically the top two octaves) of an acoustic grand piano.
Check the position of the Line In LEVEL knob (located on the jack panel),
and adjust as necessary.
