 F eature Parameters: Virtual Technician
An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a fine acoustic piano. In addition to
meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments that
allow the instrument to truly sing.
The PIANO section's Virtual Technician parameters simulate these refinements digitally, allowing performers to
shape various aspects of the piano sound's character to suit their personal preferences.
