(4) Damper Resonance

Pressing the damper pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a note or chord is
played on the piano with the sustain pedal pressed, not only will the strings of the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other
notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.
The hybrid piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance sound to
be adjusted.

Description
Off
Damper Resonance will not be applied to the selected sound.
1
A small amount of Damper Resonance will be applied to the selected sound.
10
A large amount of Damper Resonance will be applied to the selected sound.
This setting will not be displayed when the "SK-EX Rendering" piano sound variation is selected.

(5) Damper Noise

When the damper pedal of an acoustic piano is pressed and released, it is often possible to hear the sound of the damper head
touching and releasing the strings.
The hybrid piano reproduces this sound, with the Damper Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound to be adjusted. The
speed at which the damper pedal is pressed and released will also influence the prominence of the damper noise, with fast pedalling
creating a more pronounced sound.

(6) String Resonance

String Resonance refers to a phenomenon that exists in acoustic pianos whereby the strings of held notes resonate "sympathetically"
with other notes of the same harmonic overtone series.
The hybrid piano recreates this phenomenon, with the String Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance to be adjusted.
