Resonance - Kawai Concert Performer CP139 Quick Start Manual

5) Resonance

Damper Resonance
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 Resonance function simulates this phenomenon. You can select the
level of effect from 0 (Off), 1 to 10. The default setting is 5.
String Resonance
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.
Key Off Noise
Especially for low-pitched tones, when a key is played and released quickly and strongly, there will be the sound of the
damper touching the strings immediately before the sound stops. The key off noise simulates this phenomenon. You
can select the level of key off noise from 0 (off), 1 to 10. The default setting is 5.
