  • Page 54: Virtual Technician

    Virtual Technician An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a fine acoustic piano. In addition to meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments that allow the instrument to truly sing. The Virtual Technician settings of the CS6 digital piano simulate these refinements digitally, allowing performers to shape various aspects of the instrument’s character to suit their personal preferences.

  • Page 55: Touch

    section Touch As with an acoustic piano, the CS6 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with force, and a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation to the strength and speed of playing - on a digital piano this system is referred to as ‘touch sensitivity’.

Mellow 1 A softer, more mellow tonal character throughout the entire dynamic range.

  • Page 58: Damper Resonance

    Virtual Technician Damper Resonance Depressing the sustain pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will the strings of the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.

  • Page 59: String Resonance

    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 series. The CS6 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the String Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance to be adjusted.

  • Page 60: Key-Off Effect

    Virtual Technician Key-off Effect When playing an acoustic piano - particularly in the bass region of the keyboard - if a key is played with force and released quickly, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of the damper touching the strings immediately before the vibrations are stopped.

  • Page 61: Temperament

    Temperament The Temperament setting allows the tuning system used by the CS6 digital piano to be changed from the modern ‘Equal Temperament’ standard to one of the various musical temperaments popularised during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

    section Key Settings Layer Octave Shift The Layer Octave Shift setting allows the pitch of the layered sound (shown in the second line of the LCD display) when using Dual mode to be raised or lowered in octave steps. 1. Selecting the Layer Octave Shift setting Enter the Key Settings menu (page 64).

  • Page 67: Layer Dynamics

    Layer Dynamics When using Dual mode, sometimes simply adjusting the volume balance between the two layered sounds is not enough to create the desired sound character, especially if both sounds are very dynamic. Layering two equally dynamic sounds can prove difficult to control and play comfortably. The Layer Dynamics Function allows the dynamic sensitivity of the layered sound to be reduced, in order to improve the blend between the two combined sounds.
