Lid Position
Opening and closing the lid controls the overall brightness of
the piano. 0 is fully closed, 50 is the normal position, and
100 is fully open. The on-screen graphic reflects this setting,
with four different graphics from fully closed to fully open.
You can also scale the Lid Position via MIDI CC#74.
Release Time
This scales the piano's release time—the time that it takes
the note to ring out after you release the key (not including
effects such as delay and reverberation).
0 is the default, and reflects the preset release time of the
selected Piano Type.
–100 sets the release time to the minimum time, and +100
sets it to the maximum time.
You can also scale the Release Time via MIDI CC#72.
Velocity Bias
This alters the velocity response by compressing one part of
the range while expanding the other, creating a "darker" or
"brighter" overall effect while maintaining the full velocity
range from ppp to fff. Note that this affects timbre only—not
volume.

Velocity Intensity
This scales velocity modulation of volume. Other effects of
velocity, such as brightness, sample selection, and so on, are
unaffected.
0 is the default, and reflects the preset velocity intensity of
the selected Piano Type.
–100 removes the velocity modulation entirely. +100 means
maximum modulation in the same direction, positive or
negative, as the original Piano Type.
4–1c: Components
Damper Resonance
Pressing down the damper pedal lifts the felt dampers from
all of the strings across the keyboard, allowing them to
resonate freely. In this state, playing any note causes the rest
of the strings to vibrate slightly, creating a rich, complex
resonance. A similar but softer effect is produced by first
playing and holding a note, and then pressing down the
damper pedal. The SGX-2 models these behaviors.

This parameter controls the triggering of new Damper
Resonance samples. Editing the parameter does not affect
currently sounding notes.
Level
This sets the volume level for the Damper Resonance
samples.
The level is adjusted in steps of 1dB. This also applies to the
other Level parameters, below.
Damper Noise
When the damper pedal is pressed down, the noise of the
impact causes all of the strings to resonate slightly. If you
press down the damper quickly, the noise will be more
prominent; if you press down slowly, it will be softer.
This parameter controls the triggering of new Damper
Noise samples. Changes take effect the next time that you
press down the damper pedal.
Level
This controls the volume level of the Damper Noise.
As with the On/Off parameter above, changes to Level do
not affect currently sounding Damper Noise samples.
Mechanical Noise
This is the mechanical sound of the key being released.
This parameter controls the triggering of new Mechanical
Noise samples. Changing it does not affect keys which have
already been released.
Level
This controls the level of the Mechanical Noise.
As with the On/Off parameter above, changes to Level do
not affect currently sounding Mechanical Noise samples.
Note Release
This is the sound of the damper hitting the string. If the
damper pedal is not used, this happens at the same time as
the Mechanical Noise, above. If the damper pedal is being
used, it happens when the damper pedal is released—which
may be some time after the key is released.
This parameter controls the triggering of new Note Release
samples. Changing it does not affect notes which have
already been released.
Level
This sets the volume level for Note Release samples.
As with the On/Off parameter above, changes to Level do
not affect currently sounding Note Release samples.
