2) Damper Resonance

When the sustain pedal (page 8) is depressed on an acoustic piano, all the dampers are lifted up allowing the
strings to vibrate freely. When you play note or chord on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will
the strings for the notes you played vibrate but other strings will vibrate in sympathetic resonance. The damper
resonance function simulates the phenomenon.
Step 1
After pressing the VIRTUAL TECHNICIAN button, use the MENU buttons to select the damper resonance
function. You can adjust the volume of the damper resonance.
2 Damper Reso.
Step 2
Use the VALUE buttons to set the volume within a range of "Off, 1 to 10. 5 is the default setting.
Damper resonance will not be active when "Off" is selected.
Step 3
After setting the desired damper resonance volume, you can exit the virtual technician function by
pressing the VIRTUAL TECHNICIAN button.
The damper resonance volume defaults to "5" each time the power is turned off. You can use the user memory func-
tion (page 76), to save your desired volume. This way your current damper resonance volume will remain even after
the power is turned off.
The damper resonance function is effective only for the following piano sounds:
