The Piano Room function is for those who want to simply, conveniently, and fully enjoy
playing the instrument as a piano. No matter what settings you've made from the panel,
you can instantly call up the optimum settings for piano performance with a single but-
ton press. You can also change the piano settings as you desire, or record your perfor-
mance in the Piano Room as an audio file.
