About the Timbre Type Tones that are selected by each Instrument part have an attribute that
depends on the sound source operation type. This attribute is called the "timbre type," which is one of
the types described below.

and Damper Resonance effect characteristics are seamlessly altered in accordance with the damper
pedal position. The method for producing sound in response to the note messages also is different
from that of the melody Timbre Type, and operation is optimized for piano.
