Cabinet Resonance

While the fundamental sound of an acoustic piano is produced by vibrating strings, transmitting energy through a
spruce soundboard, the cabinet of the instrument itself also contributes a variety of subtle tonal characteristics that
enrich the playing and listening experience. The keybed, inner and outer rim, iron plate, and beams all play a role
in disseminating sound energy, which in turn gives the piano a living, breathing quality.
The CA59 digital piano recreates these natural acoustic characteristics, with the Cabinet Resonance setting allowing
the volume of this resonance sound to be adjusted.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.
1. Selecting the Cabinet Resonance setting

Press the  or  buttons to select the Cabinet Resonance
setting.
2. Adjusting the Cabinet Resonance volume
Press the  or  buttons to increase or decrease the volume of
the Cabinet Resonance setting.

resonance.

 and  buttons simultaneously.
