the Organ button, use the Value buttons to select a
desired voicing type. The LED display shows the
type of voicing currently selected.
The current voicing selection is global for all the preset tones. You cannot have an individual
setting for each tone.
NOTE:
While voicing is a technique used for optimizing the tone of an acoustic piano, this function can be
used on all the sounds on the ES piano.
4. DAMPER EFFECT
When the sustain pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all the dampers are lifted up allowing the
strings to vibrate freely. When you play a note or chord on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed
not only will the strings for the notes you played vibrate but other strings will vibrate in sympathetic
resonance.
The Damper Effect function simulates this phenomenon. You can select the level of
effect from off, 1 to 10. The default setting is 5.
