Damper Resonance

Depressing the sustain pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a
note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will the strings of the notes played
vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.
The CE220 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the volume of
this resonance to be changed.
1. Selecting the Damper Resonance setting
Press and hold the TRANSPOSE and USB buttons simultaneously,
then press the PIANO button.
The LED indicator for the PIANO button will start to flash, and
the current Damper Resonance setting will be shown in the LED
display.
2. Adjusting the Damper Resonance value
Press the or VALUE buttons to increase or decrease the
value of the Damper Resonance setting.
* The Damper Resonance value can be adjusted within the range of
1 - 10, or disabled entirely (Off).
* The Damper Resonance setting will return to the default value of 5
after the power is turned off.
* To change this default setting, and specify a preferred Damper
Resonance value to be selected automatically when the instrument is
