Value
Adjusts the extent to which the lid of the grand piano is open.
0–6 The sound will become more mellow as you close the lid of the piano in the screen.
The sound will become brighter as you open the lid of the piano in the screen.
Fixed, Super Light,
Adjusts the touch sensitivity of the keyboard.
Light, Medium,
If you select "Fixed," notes will sound at a uniform volume regardless of how
Heavy, Super
strongly you play the keyboard.
Heavy
This lets you make further detailed adjustments to the keyboard sensitivity as
-10–0–9
appropriate for the strength of your fingers.
Higher settings will produce a heavier playing feel.
This adjusts the time from when you play a key until the piano sound is heard.
Off, 1–10 Higher settings will produce slower response. If this is OFF, the sound will be heard
as soon as you strike the key, regardless of how strongly you strike it.
This adjusts the sound produced when the hammer of an acoustic piano strikes the
-2–0–+2
string. Higher settings will produce a louder sound of the hammer striking the
string.
415.3–440.0–
This adjusts the LX-10s standard pitch (the pitch of the middle A note).
466.2 Hz
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning
Equal, Just (Major),
methods).
Just (Minor),
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most
Arabic, Kirnberger,
common tuning in use today. But at one time, there were a wide variety of other
Meantone, tuning systems in existence.
By playing in the temperament that was in use when a composition was created,
Pythagorean,
you can experience the sonorities of chords originally intended for that song.
Werkmeister
For details, refer to "Temperaments" (p. 31).
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the
tonic note for tuning the song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds
C–B
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 tonic note.
This lets you specify the amount of "stretched tuning," a tuning method specifically
for pianos, in which the high range is tuned slightly sharper, and the low range is
Off, Preset, User
tuned slightly flatter.
If you select "Preset," a standard tuning curve created for the LX-10 will be used.
If you select "User," you'll be able to edit the stretched tuning yourself. Play the key
(User: -50–0–+50)
whose pitch you want to adjust, then use the [-] [+] buttons to adjust its pitch. (If
you adjust the "Preset" setting, the selection will change to "User.")
This adjusts the damper resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic
vibration produced in strings other than those actually played when you press the
Off, 1–10
damper pedal).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
This adjusts the damper noise of the acoustic piano sound (the sound of the
Off, 1–10
damper releasing the strings when you press the damper pedal).
This adjusts the sympathetic vibrations of an acoustic piano's Duplex Scale (p. 31).
Off, 1–10
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
This adjusts the string resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic
vibrations of strings for previously played notes that occur when you play another
Off, 1–10
note).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
This adjusts sympathetic vibrations such as an acoustic piano's key-off sound (the
Off, 1–10
subtle sound that occurs when you release a note).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
