Damper Resonance - Kawai CA 111 Owner's Manual

2) DAMPER RESONANCE

When the damper pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all dampers are lifted up, allowing the strings to vibrate
freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the damper pedal depressed, not only will the strings
of the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance. The Damper
Resonance function of the CA111 piano attempts to simulate this phenomenon.
Step 1
Press the Menu button repeatedly, or press and hold the Menu button then press the or Value buttons,
until the Damper Resonance function is selected.

Step 2
Press the or Value buttons to select the desired damper resonance level.
A damper resonance level of '1' produces a very subtle effect, while the maximum level of '10' creates a stronger,
more pronounced resonance. Setting the damper resonance to 'Off' will disable the function entirely.
