Explanation
Adjusts the extent to which the top lid of the grand piano is open.
The sound will become more mellow as you close the top lid of the piano in the screen. The sound will
become brighter as you open the top lid of the piano in the screen.
Adjusts the string resonance of the acoustic piano (the sound of the strings of already-pressed notes
vibrating in sympathy with the notes you play, and the sound of the strings of unplayed notes also
vibrating in sympathy if the damper pedal is pressed). Higher settings produce louder sympathetic
resonance.
Adjusts the overall resonance of the acoustic piano when its damper pedal is pressed (the sound of
other strings vibrating in sympathy when you press the damper pedal, and the resonance of the entire
instrument).
Higher settings produce louder sympathetic resonance.
Adjusts the resonance of the subtle sounds that occur when a key of an acoustic piano is released. A
higher value produces a larger tonal change during the decay.
Adjusts the tuning of each individual key. For example, you can adjust the width of stretched tuning,
which tunes the higher register slightly higher and the lower register slightly lower.
Adjusts the volume of each key. Lower settings decrease the volume.
Adjusts the tonal character of each key. Higher settings produce a harder sound, and lower settings
produce a softer tone.
* The result of this effect will differ depending on the pitch range.
