String Resonance

String Resonance refers to a phenomenon that exists in acoustic pianos whereby the strings of held notes resonate
'sympathetically' with other notes of the same harmonic overtone series.
The CA58 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the String Resonance setting allowing the volume of this
resonance to be adjusted.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.
 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' key resonating 'sympathetically' , thus demonstrating String Resonance.
