Damper Resonance

Pressing the damper 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 pressed, not only will the strings of the notes played
vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.
The ES8 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the volume of this
resonance sound to be adjusted.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.
1. Selecting the Damper Resonance setting
After entering the Virtual Technician menu (page 92):
Press the  or  MENU buttons to select the Damper Resonance
setting.
2. Adjusting the Damper Resonance volume
Press the  or  VALUE buttons to adjust the volume of the
Damper Resonance setting.
* The Damper Resonance volume can be adjusted within the range
of Off, 1~10, with higher values resulting in a more pronounced
resonance.
* Any changes made to the Damper Resonance setting will remain until
the power is turned off.
* Preferred Damper Resonance settings can be stored to a Registration
memory for convenient recall. Please refer to page 34 for more
information.
