influences the quality of timbre, the sound energy diffusion and radiation.
The sound generated by the strings is transmitted to the soundboard trough the bridge. In this way the sound is
amplified and emitted, in a very complex spatial arrangement, from the vibrating surface of the Soundboard. Each
soundboard is characterized by a typical distribution of resonances. When these are modified by the
parameter the sound colour and radiation are influenced.
HINTS AND TIPS: When you change the

SOUND E.PIANO
Differently from the PIANO family, the E.PIANOs do not have macroparameters and microparameters. The parameters
displayed are Sound-dependent. E.PIANO sounds can be:

Hammer
Description: The
the hammer that, during the impact with the tine, determines the sound
loudness and timbre.
When a key is pressed on the piano keyboard, the corresponding hammer
strikes the thin cylindrical bar called "tine" and then rebounds, allowing the
tine to vibrate at its resonant frequency. The greater the key velocity, the
greater is the energy transferred from the hammer to the tine, and the louder
the note produced. The hammer contact time with the tine is very short, but
during this time the hammer greatly influences the timbre and loudness, not only at the attack but for all the sound
evolution.
HINTS AND TIPS: By moving the slider you change the hammer size. The greater the hammer, the greater is the energy
transferred to the tine and the richer the produced sound.
