Fall-back Noise

When playing an acoustic piano, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of the keyboard action returning (i.e.
'falling back') to the neutral position after a key is released.
The ES8 digital piano reproduces this sound, with the Fall-back Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound to
be adjusted.
While the default value is intended to simulate the natural volume level of the keys as they return to their neutral
position, it may occasionally be desirable to adjust the volume of this sound. For example, reducing the volume
when playing very soft pieces, where the fall-back noise may become too prominent.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano and harpsichord sounds.
