Changing The Damper Pedal's Resonance (Damper Resonance); Setting The Tuning Curve (Stretch Tuning) - Roland RP101 Owner's Manual

Changing Various Settings
Changing the Damper Pedal's
Resonance (Damper Resonance)
On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes
the notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich
reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper pedal on
the RP101 recreates this resonance (damper resonance) when
depressed.
You can select from eight levels of depth for the resonant
sound (resonance level).
You can use the Memory Backup function to store this
setting in internal memory (p. 36).
This is set to "4" when the RP101 is shipped from the
factory.
NOTE
This setting is enabled only with the piano tones. You
cannot set this for other tones.

A piano is generally tuned to a pitch with a lower bass range
and a higher treble range than equal temperament. This
special tuning method for pianos is called "Stretch Tuning."

This effect works only with the piano tones.
Stretch Tuning is set to On when the instrument is turned
on.
