6.2.4 Damper Effect (Int Piano only)

Normal: Produces the normal tone of an acoustic piano throughout the entire

dynamic range.

Mellow:

Reproduces the effect of a softer hammer surface. It produces a

mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

Dynamic: This setting is not possible with an acoustic piano. Softly played

notes will have the tone of a mellow voicing and notes played harder

will have the tone of a bright voicing. This setting produces a

dramatic change from mellow to bright throughout the entire

dynamic range.

Bright:

Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

In acoustic pianos, there are strings corresponding to each key. When a key

is pressed, strings of other keys in the related harmonic series to the note

played resonate. This effect is called "sound resonance", which makes the

sound of acoustic piano full and rich.
