Specifying the Temperament Key

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament,
you need to specify the temperament key for tuning the
song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C
for a major key or to A for a minor key). If you choose an
equal temperament, there's no need to select a
temperament key.

* When performing in ensemble with other instruments, be
aware that depending on the key, there may be some
shifting of the pitch. Tune the DP990F to the fundamental
pitch of the other instruments.

Piano Sound Settings

Producing Sympathetic Resonance When
You Press the Damper Pedal
(Damper Resonance)
You can change the volume of the damper pedal resonance.
On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes
the notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich
reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper pedal
on the DP990F recreates this resonance (Damper Resonance)
when depressed.
Setting Description
The resonance volume decreases as the value is
lowered, while raising the value increases the
OFF, 1–10 volume of the Damper Resonance.
The Damper Resonance function is not active
when the value is set to "OFF."

Producing the Resonance of the Strings
When the Keys Are Played
(String Resonance)
When you play the keys on an acoustic piano, the strings
that are already playing resonate as well. The function that
reproduces this effect is called "String Resonance."

Playing Sounds When the Keys Are
