When the sustain pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all the dampers are lifted up allowing the strings to vibrate
freely. In this condition, when you play a note not only will the strings for the note you played vibrate but other strings will
vibrate due to sympathetic resonance. The Damper Effect function simulates this phenomenon. You can select the level
of effect from 0 (Off), 1 to 10. The default setting is 5.
Even when the sustain pedal is not depressed on an acoustic piano, the strings for any notes you are holding will be
un-damped and will resonate freely in sympathy with the strings of other notes that you play if they are part of the
same harmonic series. In addition, adjacent notes will also be resonated. The String Resonance function simulates this
phenomenon. You can select the level of resonance from 0 (off), 1 to 10. The default setting is 5. String resonance is not
active when the damper pedal is depressed.
