9) Hammer Delay

When playing pianissimo passages using an acoustic piano, there may be a perceived delay between a key being
pressed and the hammer striking the strings. The Hammer Delay setting allows this delay to be adjusted. You can
select the amount of delay from Off, 1 to 10. The default setting is Off.

10) Top Board

When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument's topboard (lid) affects both the volume and
'openness' of the tone produced. A fully open topboard allows sound waves to reflect off the polished lid surface
and project into the room, while a closed lid has the opposite effect, resulting in a darker, more opaque tone.
The Top Board setting allows the position of the 'virtual' topboard to be set to one of our positions, with the default
position being the most open – Open 3.
