playing and song playback (MIDI and audio). Increase
the value to reduce the volume of keyboard playing.

Default setting
Note
• The original volume balance is set for some PianoSoft
songs. During the playback of such songs, priority is given
to their original volume balance.
• The piano sound of PianoSoft songs (including the
demonstration and preset songs on the unit) is recognized
as keyboard playing. Therefore, increasing this value
reduces the volume of the piano sound.
• This setting does not revert to its default setting when you
turn the unit off.

■ Song Transpose

You can transpose the pitch of song playback (MIDI
and audio) or sound input through the AUX IN jack.
Transposition can be set in semitone increments. For
example, if you set the transposition amount to 5,
playing C3 key produces pitch F3.

String Resonance
When the hammer of an acoustic piano strikes
the string, other strings will resonate, creating an
expressive tone. The effect that reproduces this
resonance is called "String Resonance effect."
This effect reproduces the natural resonance on
the strings of the keys that are already held down
when you play the keyboard.
