NOTE
■ Opening/Closing the Piano Lid (Lid)
This simulates the actual changes in sound that occur when the lid of a
grand piano is set at different heights.
Setting
Explanation
As the value decreases, the lid seems to close
more, producing a softer sound. Increasing the
0–6
value opens the lid more, producing a brighter
sound.
■ Changing How Rapidly Sounds Are Expressed
According to the Force Used to Play the Keys
(Hammer Response)
You can adjust the timing with which sounds are produced according
to the force used to play the keys.
When a key is pressed on an acoustic piano, it causes a hammer to
move and strike the strings, producing sound. The hammers move
more slowly when the keys are played gently, meaning that sounds
are produced just slightly later than when you play the keyboard with
greater force. If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time
between the moment you press a key until the sound is heard will
change depending on the strength with which you play. As you play
more softly, this time will become longer.
Setting
Explanation
The higher the value, the more slowly the hammers
move when the keys are played gently. When set
Off, 1–10
to Off, sounds are played immediately when the
keys are pressed, regardless of the force used to
play them.
